M.I.5/M.I.6/SAS

Let's be honest here, hussars, you have no idea about a lot of things. That "movie" is irritating, read the book it's a much better account. I suppose it's just the fact that I cannot stand that Sean Bean.

People who call the LRDG a taxi service for the SAS do not know their history. One of the members at our musuem is the son-in-law of one of the original LRDG guys. Quite an unbelievable group of guys.

Are you trying to start an argument with me or are you just joking? I can rarely tell.

I was just being honest, hussars.

evan, they would have a point though. The LRDG were used quite often as a taxi service for the SAS, but obviously only because of their expertise in desert recon. Who else could provide that service? Even the LRDG joked about being the desert taxi service.

I took this at the IWM, a salvaged Chevy LRDG truck

I'd say that truck has seen better days!

True Eric.
It still aint done too bad considering the 40 odd years its stood out in the weather, freezing nights and baking days. A credit to Chevy dont you think?
