Hello Dan,

Thank you for the lead, The book is called Fetch Felix: The Fight Against the Ulster Bombers, 1976-1977 by Derrick Patrick (1981). ISBN 9780241103715. The era is linked to a really intense webpage that describes a photograph that shows how the bomb disposal person is already walking in the 'kill radius'. In the foreground of the same photograph it shows a quotation written on the corner of a building that says - Prepare to meet your God. Not the most confidence inspiring thing to read as you walk closer and closer to a bomb! Accessed 14th June 2023 from, https://belfastchildis.com/2017/07/0...ry-behind-them

Kind regards
Lionel
