Thank you all for your lovely comments. As you may have worked out from my biog. I was in Belfast on 17 June '74. In the belly of the beast, so to speak.

Fascinating reading, especially as I happened to be working at the Houses of Parliament at the time of the IRA bomb explosion in Westminster Hall, and probably missed being involved because I arrived in London on an earlier train that morning and was in Dean's Yard when it went off. It was nothing like the size of the conflagration that Fawkes might have been responsible for, but pretty terrifying even from the other side of Parliament Square.

As Fiona has said, thank you for a great article!
