I remember meeting Johnny Adams at the Reunion at Walsall and reminded him of the specific incident that occurred while we were together on the specific tour so many years ago of Belfast. Based at the 'Grand Central Hotel' on Royal Avenue. We were on a 'snap'VCP in College street North. Pulling in Cars at random. We pulled up this Austin 1800 and proceeded to go through the motions of the 'Search procedures'Checking Documention,Registration etc...Bonnet,boot,and internal search of said Vehicle. Noted apart from the driver there was two passengers on board. Both youths about 16-17 years of age. I was talking to the driver and noted Johnny asking youth in front to step out of vehicle. He hesitated, seemed reluctant to get out of the car! Johnny had to drag him out. I then told youth sitting in back to join his buddy against the wall!
I then walked around the back of the car,noted that this youth had got out of the car,but was leaning into the back seat suspiciously I grabbed youth and threw him against the wall. On looking on back seat could see a Sten-Gun with working parts pulled back and a magazine of 9mm ready to clip on to weapon in question! Bloody Hell!...I thought!
Apparently the butt of the weapon had dropped when Johnny had dragged the youth from the front seat out!Back-up was summoned to arrest these youths. To this day I am still convinced that these youths were not as they stated on the Court case some months later that they were Courier's!Reason because ,as I told the RUC, Since when do Courier's travel with the working parts back on a weapon! A valid point as far as I was concerned! I still consider the possible consequences that could have occurred if I had been slower in not throwing that youth against that wall.Neither of us was carrying pistols at that time.....Make's you think !....Does'nt it just!....
