The gorry photos are of thebomb near the North Gate, taken by a Kroll operator named GP, from memory in July/August 2004.

Brings back memories of running about on the crossed swords and having a shit in the villa and having to put the tissue in the bin.....Nice!

We also had a shower you got electricuted in!

Reply about the IBA course.
In 2005 I started my training with the IBA with a 3 weeks Close Protection course followed by a 4 day first Aid course with the IBA .The next course with the IBA was in April 06 a Tactical firearms course in Slovenia. I have found the training to be of a very high professional standard and would have no hesitation in recommending the IBA to any one. The IBA as been in operation for 50 years, this in its self shows there dedication to there profession. In my opinion the IBA is a very professional organization and I will continue to be a member for the duration of my Bodyguard career. Also I would like to add that I have been on a number of assignments with otherIBA members and we have always had a very high recommendation from our principals.
