MR MCBRIDE
Very, very early, very, very early, from after he received the operation.  Because we had discussed the possibility of using mortars from the beach into there and there were questions of overshooting the target, it not being very effective because you cannot really see the target, there's a big hump in the way.  Very, very early.  We even looked at retreating on what it is, rubber, motorised rubber dinghies and none of us knew how to operate any of them or to launch it from the beach.  So that was very early, very early in - it might have been contained in one of the communiques I took over to the comrades to Botswana, on my second or third trip.  There might have been a report on that.
