I chose to download and listen to this as my dad was in operation Granby. I always want to understand what he went through but he’s not really a talker. Amazing, thank you to all involved 🤍
I loved listening to this show. My bother served in Granby so it was very poignant. Including posting gifts to him through the Forces Posf!
Very well produced and interesting to listen back on this history
Top notch reporting as always from the indomitable Jade Callaway!
Brilliant podcast that is so well put together. It had me on the edge of my seat multiple times. Hearing people’s first hand accounts of their time during the gulf war is fascinating and thrilling. I learn’t so much that I had no idea about. The podcast is sensitive and personal giving a real insight into the time. Great job BFBS! I look forward to listening to more of your podcasts in the future.
