Operation Motorman: 'Motorman' was the name given to a massive military operation by the British Army to reclaim 'no-go areas' set up by republican paramilitaries in towns across Northern Ireland.

                1. IRA and INLA prisoners in the Maze prison refused to wear 'convict-like' prison uniforms. They only wore blankets that they were given.
