Awesome. I'd seen 2 of those before, but obviously only in B&W.

The shot with the six SAS guys in the jeeps has been widely used in B&W.

Yep. They are actually LRDG I think.

Maybe. I've seen it captioned as LRDG or SAS. I think they are actually SAS though.

Of course here they are described as LRDG

Let's just call them Special Operations

Whoever they are, as soon as I saw the photo, I was immediately struck with a definite sense that I would not want to ever, EVER, mess with them.
