Is anyone here a fan of this film? Be lovely to see some examples.
I just picked up some in 120 which I'm going to try as part of a little project.
And any tips: is it as simple as put on a deep red filter and take it from there?

Deep red filtration at around EI 20-32 is good. True IR filters are much more dramatic but drop the speed to EI 3-6.

I use a R-090 which is a fairly light red filter. I like shadow detail in my photos and I have found this best FOR ME (at 32). The last image above was with a darker red which made it hard for me to get shadows. And as Roger says; IR will give you more drama, I personally don't like that drama so I've never used an IR filter. But the EI that Roger give seems about right to me.
HC-110h at 18 minutes, 30 second agitation at first then 3 inversions each 5 minutes is what I've settled on (68 degrees).

If you develop your own film, you will love Ilford SFX. When you see those negatives you will think you are in Heaven.
