Operation Anderson

just part 1 of a video of operation anderson, the biggest operation BTP did of its kind, back in 1989, Writers from Bristol had it hard, with it stemming from there too other citys around the south east, up to Birmingham, down to Plymouth, Exeter, it was a big raid here in Cardiff, I think 24 writers incuding myself and crew mates all raided by BTP.
It took a year for them to build up a case, though it fell flat for BTP who where expecting bigger results.
The first judge thought it was ridiculus and it then went to another court, then another, lastly it went to the crown courts. We really had it easy esp compared to the stupid pointless, but terrible custodial sentences writers are getting these days.
Myself, I had £100 fine and 12 months conditional discharge most other writers had the same sentences.
the only thing we where gutted about was losing our pictures of much of the tracksides etc we never took many flicks back then so losing them was a gutter...
Anyway Thanks to MR Kilo for the upload, Its only part 1 for now, but we'll hopefully get part 2 when Kilo is not as busy and has time to upload etc..

Thanks again Mr Kilo..
