Tom Radburn was a senior staff news cameraman for Sky News for thirty years. In that time he covered almost every major news story worldwide. From standing on the wreckage of the Twin Towers days after that tragic event to arriving in Paris hours after the death of princess Diana. He was the first British cameraman to enter Kuwait City on the day of its liberation in 1991 and shot the exclusive pictures of the raising of the Kuwait flag inside liberated Kuwait. He was the first to shoot video footage of the infamous ‘Highway of death’ and it was his pictures of that untouched scene that the world saw first. He covered all of the Balkan wars. Croatia, Bosnia, Kosovo. Wars in Africa, Congo, Sierra Leone, Rwanda, Uganda. Wars in the Middle East, Iraq, Lebanon and Afghanistan. He met Colonel Gaddafi in his desert hideout, filmed Saddam Hussein at one of his legendary military rallies in Mosul, Iraq, and flew with Yasser Arafat to Washington when he signed the middle east peace agreement with Yitzhak Rabin and Bill Clinton in 1993. From 1988 to 2018 from Afghanistan to Northern Ireland, if it was happening somewhere, then Tom Radburn was sent there.
