This is a pair of murals in Snugville Street as it was being redeveloped in the mid-1990s. Above, “UFF rocket team on tour, west Belfast ’94”. Johnny Adair’s C company, acquired an RPG-7 rocket launcher and used it in attacks on Connolly House and the Rock Bar in early 1994 (BelTel | UPI). Below, two hooded gunmen with assault rifles: “Ulster Freedom Fighters will resist any Eire involvement in our country”.
Adair went to prison in 1995 and when he came out in 1999, had a large number of murals painted in the lower Shankill estate.
