A major exercise, the first, postwar, when the TA and Regular Army actually worked together as one army, not just individual units.

Took part in both Lionheart and Crusader. One thing we found, the closer to the IGB we got the more pleased the locals were to see us, they knew what was on the other side!

I was there. 1 SQN. HAC. The correspondent Christopher Wain talks about the Savesa (?) Gap being a choke point for invading orange forces. This was a name I heard a lot at the time, although I’ve never been able to find it on a map because I don’t know the spelling. Can anyone help?

'SIBBESSE' Gap. It's in the area of Hildesheim in Niedersachsen. I was often there too (as a Regular) from the late 70's to 80's!

Having seen how the Russians are performing in Ukraine, I think we were a bit over concerned with the threat.
