I was convinced that it was going to hit me and so I hit the deck. Maybe it wouldn't have hit me, but it felt like it. That one moment is my best memory of all - and there still were some good ones to come!! The next thing I guess I have to mention is the ambush at the farm - I'm sure many people watching will think I blew it - when I watch it, that's what I think anyway. What you must remember was that I had never seen the Interceptor before, I had no idea what he was like, what he was dressed in, and what to expect from him. I commented in the programme that I didn't think he was in the helicopter. My first sight of the helicopter allowed me to see lots of people in the helicopter with camera lens' pointing out. I now know that the Interceptor's helicopter had two |
cameramen - Henry Marcuzzi and Graham Berry (from Treasure Hunt fame). One cameraman always followed the Interceptor - whilst the other stayed on board to get the aerial shots. So over the farm, I could see that there weren't so many people on board, but I wasn't sure what that meant. The other thing, was even if I knew he wasn't in the air, what can you do - which way to you face ? He could be anywhere and you'd never know. My plan was to get in the back of the truck as soon as I could - and to lie down to protect the pack. Having got into the farmyard, I ran and put my back up against the wall whilst I checked that I could get a lift to Daymer Bay. I also checked with the driver that he knew the way. He did.
