Blimey.
It's kinda interesting the way the WWIII approach didn't really achieve anything. The guy was wounded so there's a good chance he'd have ended up hiding in that boat anyway (he may well have been unaware of the size of the operation anyway, just known from common sense he'd be being hunted) and it's the fact someone went outside for air that got him caught.
I'm not sure of the exact dynamics of the 'house to house searches' that were mentioned, but I think I wouldn't let the plod in my house without a warrant, horrible bombing or not. I'm pretty sure I'd notice a wounded bomber in my house and would be frankly insulted by the suggestion as a random citizen I might have taken it upon myself to hide them. Knock and ask, but please don't come in. Though I don't know if they actually entered people's homes or if so how many. Anyone know?
I fully understand the public desire for him to be caught, but I also think the just short of deploying stealth bombers approach was concerningly militaristic., though the circumstances were extraordinary.
Well seeing as you would not let me in...the door would go and you would be on the ground, never mind the mace being sprayed, how about the canister shoved in the gary

Ever heard of a safe house or accomplice

That's why each location had to be checked, hence the manpower, more manpower than the Brit army though
