Operation Shear was an offensive operation mounted in Nottingham by the British Army's 24th SAS Regiment H-Squadron on July 12th, 1951. The objective of this operation was to seal off the Chimeran tunnel nexus that formed under Nottingham. In the weeks prior to Shear the Chimera had used these same tunnels to attack British forces undetected in which Captain Rachel Parker assumed that if the tunnels were to be sealed off, thus allowing a minor turning point for British forces. However, following the aftermath of Operation Shear, it was revealed that the tunnels were used to excavate a Chimeran tower.
