During Operation Desert Storm, part of the Gulf War in 1991, Des Powell was part of the Bravo Three Zero patrol that successfully infiltrated enemy lines to take out scud missiles. It was a story that was overshadowed by the tragedy of Zero Two Bravo, which saw three soldiers killed and another four captured.
In this episode, Des recounts his reluctant entry into the military, influenced by his family's military background, to joining the Parachute Regiment, facing SAS selection twice, and the lessons he learned along the way.
