  1. I don't know how true it is but I've heard it from multiple sources that they don't actually use police vehicles nor do they use blue light apparently the number plates used by the sas are recorded on the national police data Base and if a copper runs the plate for speeding they are to ignore it. I don't know how true this is but kinda makes more sense then lights and sirens

  2. In the 1990 s a vehicle was developed to S A S specification by Reutech in South Africa named the Shadow and featured in Janes Defence Weekly – but for some unknown reason never accepted – way better in every respect to the Land Rover – greater range much higher road clearance unique soldier-proof automatic gearbox with unique lock-up feature much greater wading depth and a potent Caterpillar engine and under mine protection none of which the LandRover never had.- the Land rover was a civilian vehicle the Shadow was designed and built to tight specification and hugely capable as you can imagine.

  3. Hey, at 1.31 https://youtu.be/9LCmRjOtV0s?t=91 on the far right – that's my father Terry Jickells. He was a good man never swore or lost his temper. One afternoon he brought a pinky (SAS Desert Vehicle) home – it was like that in Hereford back in the early days. After thousands of jumps with the early shoots he had a bad back – it took its toll. To his right second right is Don Hughes, to his right is Colonel Dare Wilson and second from left is Pete Sherman. I'm not certain who the remaining two are. All the best.
