These Guys, make me feel so proud, to be British. They are the best in the world. I am old enough, to remember the Iranian Embassy Siege, the SAS went in, we watched it live on the TV. I will never forget it. My utmost admiration to all those, who serve and have served. Thank you.

I bet Jackie Stewart was thinking "Fucking hell I wish I'd stuck to being a racing driver"

Even when the prison wardens could not handle a riot in their prisons, they have to call in the SAS. These guys are truly the best in their trade.

I imagine the hard buggers in that prison had a very sudden epiphany when they realised what real hard bastards look like

I met Jackie Stewart at the prison museum back in 2016, what a nice man. He was sharp as a tack and described the incident in detail. I grew up in Aberdeenshire in the 1980's and remember it well.

Never knew the SAS was used in this riot. Just goes to show all the modern-day special forces Seal Teams etc. all based on our British SAS guys who always deliver. Always makes one feel very, very proud of our armed forces particularly the SAS.

3 minutes, what took them so long !!!!!!, Wow they are without a doubt the absolute best at what they do.

It's GG when the SAS have to come and get things under control. That was such a quick and clean operation. What else would you expect from the SAS.

If you read up on Andy McNab who served in my old regiment and many others who ended up in the SAS they could easily have gone the other way and ended up in prison.

Ending a prison riot along with rescuing a hostage in 3 minutes. This is why the SAS are the most elite special forces in the world

i went to peterhead acadamy, old main road before they built the bypass actually drove past the prison every day, being a kid we used to take great delight in punching the windows and giving them the bird. i even mind seeing jackie on the roof, as to the reasons why the riot happened, back in the day a life sentence meant just that life, u basically had a prison full off lifers with nothing to lose apart from a few little privileges, there was also a thing called the ghost train where the scottish prison service used to move round dangerous prisoners and keep them in cages. look up jimmy boyles a sense of freedom and there was another book by hugh collins.

I get the feeling this prison was similar to 'Shawshank' where officers used too much 'authority ' Something must have triggered the prisoners to use such violence . Well done to the SAS for stopping the situation before people were killed ! First time I've heard about this .

I’ve had the privilege of visiting a Scottish prison, Barlinnie. We weren’t shown around the “Wendy House” but saw it from a distance . This was in 1974. First thing I noticed was the sickly white pallor of the prisoners. A warden told me that “half these guys” were mentally sick, alkies and just plain daft. “We catch the stupid ones”. The governor was old school and done a stint at Peterhead when there was rock breaking and the quarry duty was guarded by a warden on horseback, armed with a cutlass. I’m not making this up. “Real criminals” there, he said. Of course now with imported drugs, there are imported gangs who have no regard for life.

Mr.Ratcliffe spoke of this in his book. Prison hard men weren't really a match for this regiment.

I'm just glad the SAS are our boys.

They are the best. 3 minutes... unbelievable!.

I remember here in USA at Jackson State Prison located in GA close to my home, they sent in Delta Force to take back the prison from inmates who were sitting on a life sentence.

Great stuff. In his book the History of the SAS, Chris Ryan says that while the SAS told the prison warden they would use CS gas, they actually used CR gas which is many times stronger and really messed up the inmates. He says of CR: The effects of CR, or dibenzoxazepine, are immediate and extremely debilitating - to the point where you think you're going to die. You're temporarily blinded, you're in excruciating pain and your lungs begin to feel as if they've been filled with water.
