Commandos Section

I have a book somewhere with picture of a RAAF UH-1 Huey gunship in Vietnam.

 

In recent years the SAS has seen action in Timor and Iraq, as well.

 

Does anyone know what type of Jeeps the SAS used in North Africa in WW2?

 

SAS

Pink ones.

 

Stop joking!! :angry:

 

Merlin was there in a sorta round-about way.

 

He's not.

 

Sorry Merlin. I just didn't know what you meant. No offence. :lol: What did you mean though? Were you in the SAS?

 

To get to the question that I think commando asked, the SAS used a lot of Lend-Lease Jeeps and maybe some Rovers with Vickers machine guns and extra fuels cans since they were primarily doing long distance strikes and recons.

 

Pink JEEPS

Yes, I was in SAS.........Salvation Army Songsters!!
LRDG, SAS found a shade of pink paint ideal for desert work.

(Comment if this works.)
Last post from me on this.

 

That's interesting. I just recalled having seen photos of modern SAS jeeps, which are brownish yellow. Thanks.

 

Thanks for the Website. I just looked it up, and it was just what I wanted. It was really great!

 

I think this is a picture of an SAS Jeep, but I'm not sure.

 

I think it's Soviet. Looks like a Maxim MG on the back.

 

Take look at this site.

It's a WW2 gaming site but there is a bunch of history and research material there. The members are also quite knowledgable.

 

Thanks.
