Besides Airwolf this show was one of my favorites on CBS. RIP Mr Woodward you earned your rest. Thanks for the many years of entertainment.



He was also in this movie about the SAS and terrorist. He shows up late in the movie during this scene.

Here in the states this movie is called "The Final Option"
