1980
at approximately 11:30 on wednesday 30 april the six heavily armed members of drfla stormed the iranian embassy building on princes gate, south kensington. the gunmen quickly overpowered police constable trevor lock of the metropolitan police's diplomatic protection group (dpg). lock was carrying a concealed smith & wesson .38-calibre revolver, but was unable to draw it before he was overpowered, although he did manage to press the "panic button" on his radio. lock was later frisked, but the gunman conducting the search did not find the constable's weapon. he remained in possession of the revolver, and to keep it concealed refused to remove his coat, which he told the gunmen was to "preserve his image" as a police officer. the officer also refused offers of food throughout the siege for fear that the weapon would be seen if he had to use the toilet and a gunman decided to escort him.
