MR PRINSLOO
With respect, there would have been no reason for further reconnoitring because he knew the place well.  He was not like a stranger who had come in there, because he had done his National Service there.
	He knew people had firearms there.  He did that work himself, and rifles.  There was no doubt.  There wouldn't have been any doubt in his mind.
	The fact that policemen were now doing guard duty, it is possible that after his time, the Air Force could have made us of policemen.  It is still people doing guard duty, who were armed from whom they could obtain firearms, so the opportunity was there.
