Rescuing the SAS in Basrah | Michael Vaughen | What’s Your Story with Richy Thrower
Description
In this gripping episode of “What’s Your Story with Richy Thrower,” I’m joined by Michael Vaughen, a veteran of the Staffordshire Regiment / 3 Mercian and the founder of Staffordshire Bushcraft CIC.
Michael shares his incredible story of service, survival, and purpose, including his involvement in one of the most talked-about operations in Iraq: the rescue of SAS soldiers from Basrah. He and his team drove straight into the chaos of a full-blown riot, surrounded by petrol bombs and violence, to bring their brothers home.
We talk about what really happened that day, the mental and emotional aftermath of life on operations, and how bushcraft and community work have helped him reconnect with peace and purpose since leaving the Army.
This episode is raw, inspiring, and a must-listen for anyone who values courage, camaraderie, and the power of rebuilding after trauma.
Listen now to hear an extraordinary story of bravery and redemption.
