Watched a Doco on BBC 4 last night
Dave Tompkins was a petty thief who craved adventure. His career as an international mercenary began in Africa and took him all over the world - to Afghanistan, Croatia and later to Colombia, where he led a team commissioned to assassinate notorious Columbian drug lord Pablo Escobar. He went out with Callan and Copland to Angola he was the explosives guy in the team. While laying some mines he was injured by one going off. Got casavact back to uk just before Callan executed some of his men. Peter McAleese featured. We had one guy in our squadron who was out there he told me that the only way he survived was to keep to SOP’s staying in the bush and no tracks/roads

I was reading a column in one of the local papers where some woman wrote that while she agrees with his punishment she doesn't think people should take pleasure in it or show such glee! I'm cock a hoop with glee over it personally! 🤣 🤣Â

He always gave me the opinion of being an arrogant obnoxious character. So he gets no sympathy from this quarter ruining young lasses lives.
