Keith,
Today I spoke face to face with my source of information regarding Tex Banwell.
He DID NOT serve in Northern Ireland as an adviser to the military command in Ballykinler or Palace Barracks as I was lead to believe.

He attended three charity jumps in the North of Ireland between 1968 and 1972.
He attended two functions as guest of honour at the Officers Mess in the said named barracks.

At no time was he involved in any operation decisions nor was asked to.

I appologise unreservedly to you for anything I posted claiming that he had.
