Scotland Yard 1995 Part 5 Flying Squad part 2

6 part series about the metropolitan police that was made in 1995. This edition covers the flying squad in the closing stages of operation in which they detain the armed robbers who are responsible for 104 bank robberies

I bet recruitment went sky-rocketing when young lads saw this and assumed every day it was OPs, chasing 'wrong'uns', fighting and shooting at the robbers. 3 years later they had all left because of the struggle to get promoted to DC, DS or DI, and because the institution of banking has become much less a part of our lives, everything being done on a computer. I would've gone either for the mounted unit which is money for doing what you adore, or the dog section, ditto. I looked at the water police, but they just go up and down the Thames shouting at people to stop making a wake, or to mind the floating corpse in the river.
