According to the Observer, PT16 was involved in a failed attempt to run Libyan intelligence officer Khalifa Bazelya as a British agent:
::The fiasco began after the two MI6 officers, codenamed PT16 and PT16/B, arranged for Bazelya to get security clearance to work in the Saudi embassy in 1993 as head of the Libyan mission - Tripoli and London did not have full diplomatic relations. His appointment was approved by Rifkind. He was admitted to Britain, although he had been accused of gun-running and espionage in Africa.Antony Barnett and Martin Bright, MI6 plotters in new Libya spying fiasco, Observer, 2 April 2000.
 
The Observer's Martin Bright reported that Bartlett was involved in MI6 support for a plan developed during 1995 and 1996 by the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group to assassinate Colonel Gadaffi:
::The Observer can today reveal that the MI6 officers involved in the alleged plot were Richard Bartlett, who has previously only been known under the codename PT16 and had overall responsibility for the operation; and David Watson, codename PT16B. As Shayler's opposite number in MI6, Watson was responsible for running a Libyan agent, 'Tunworth', who was was providing information from within the cell.

Lord Richard Cecil was a British journalist.
Cecil was killed in 1978 while filming in Rhodesia. According to the Washington Post, he was armed at the time.
::The issue of bearing arms came to the fore last spring when a British television reporter-photographer, Richard Cecil, was killed with a rifle in his hand while on an operation with a small elite Rhodesian army unit.
::Cecil, the scion of a well known Rhodesian colonial family, may have been doing more than just toting his rifle, according to some reports. But even the most detached correspondents are facing the question because the entire country has now became a battlefield.David B. Ottaway,Reporters in Rhodesia Face Dilemma Over Carrying Arms;

Richard Clutterbuck

“History has shown that terrorism can be and has been eliminated by a ruthless response...” – Richard Clutterbuck Richard Clutterbuck, Kidnap and Ransom: the response (London: Faber and Faber, 1978) p.181)
----
Major General Richard Lewis Clutterbuck, (born November 22, 1917, died January 6,1998) was one of the seminal counter-insurgency theorists of the 1960s and early 1970s and was closely associated with the St Andrews Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence set up in 1994. Clutterbuck's ideas on counter-insurgency were developed through his military experience in 13 post-war UK colonial conflicts. 
He was a member of the Institute for the Study of Conflict until December 1977, Notification of Change in Director or Secretary or in their Particulars, filed at Companies House on 19 September 1979 and was a member of the Advisory Council at the St Andrews Centre from its inception until his death in 1998. After Clutterbuck's demise, his archive was left to the St Andrews Centre and his lasting influence on the Centre has been noted by senior members. In his introduction to British Perspectives on Terrorism, Director of the St Andrews Centre, Paul Wilkinson recognizes this intellectual lineage, paying tribute to the work of both Clutterbuck, and Frank Kitson, yet another British Army commander turned counter-insurgency theorist.
Clutterbuck helped pioneer the development of the Control Risks Information Service, designed to 'brief business and industry on political violence around the world'Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence The Richard Clutterbuck Collection, Retrieved from the Internet Archive of 4 August 2003, on 10 December 2011
