  • Manhunt

    Did anybody watch Manhunt, on channel 5 last night. It was about the hunt for the cop killer in North Yorkshire in 1982, The guy who actually found him was Eddie Magee, a familiar name to some of us. Eddie volunteered his services to track him down to Yorkshire Police because this guy was evading them. It was a good documentary, ending up with Eddie Finding the guy, and a shoot out with Yorkshire Police Firearms teams. But the guy actually topped himself with a handgun rather than be taken alive.

      Just watched it,very interesting and showed the days when cops were still cops,going out with a stick in their hands beating bushes to find a bloke with a gun. Nowadays it'd be "Oh no I'm not trained in the use of a bush beater,and can't cross a bridge without a lifejacket!"

                  Your right Jack, he did serve with Special Forces, according to the programme he taught the Cop Killer on one of his courses but this guy was rejected from the SAS! Say's it all really!
