20 years -- Operation Nimrod was in 1980. If you ever go to the Imperial
War Museum in London, they have a really good display about that operation
(or at least they did when I was last there, about three years ago).
The black "camo" used in the Iranian embassy siege (and made popular by
the SAS there and then, BTW), is not really camouflage but intended to
intimidate: first they blow up the door or window, then they throw in some
flashbangs, and next, anyone still in the room and able to think sees
completely black troopers coming in. Tell me you wouldn't be scared :)
