Help finding info on Ronnie Biggs kidnap in 81

[Gordon @ Convergent AV]

Hi,

I'm having trouble tracking down info about his kidnap from Brazil in 81. I want to find any data or images about the group of folk who did it. Reason being that the captain of the yacht used was my maths teacher from school. He never came back for that term and the next we kew was when we saw him being arrested on news at teatime....hahahaha.... His name was McIver.

I've googled and yahoo'd but can't get info. So has anyone got better searching abilities....want to prove to my wife that I am not mad and making things up....

Cheers

Gordon

You might have already found this on Wikipedia, and the Ch4 doc below ...

In 1981, Biggs was kidnapped by a gang of adventurers who smuggled him to Barbados, hoping to collect some reward from the British police. The coup was discovered, though, and Biggs made use of legal loopholes to have himself sent back to Brazil. In February 2006, Channel 4 aired a documentary featuring dramatisations of the attempted kidnap and interviews with John Miller, an ex-British Army personnel who carried it out. The team was headed by security consultant Patrick King. In the documentary, King claims that the kidnapping may have in fact been a deniable operation.
