Yes mate 21 years ago .... I am now 43  

I think the one driving the inflatable was Cookiemonster, might be wrong though..........................

If anyone is interested there is a good read Black Water by Don Camsell about his time in the SBS

 

Really interesting however I remember he came across slightly bitter about the glory the SAS got, he wasn't happy that the SAS lads were chosen to do the recon work on the Falklands instead of them for example as it was a marine type landing op.

 

Either way all UK Special forces are the best in the world IMO

It's always confused me a bit the defining line between the two regiments? Obviously the SAS are predominantly an Army Regiment and the SBS are within the RMs I believe, yet the SAS have boat troops and the SBS have seen plenty of non amphibious action in Afghanistan for instance. Confusing me still we now have two more special forces regiments, the Special Reconnaissance Regiment and the Special Forces Support Group. I understand the SFSG are just taking on the speacialist role the RMs and Paras etc used to do but surely the SRR are just doing what the SAS do in intelligence gathering?

 

Whatever the answer, I'm glad they're part of the British armed forces! We have such a proud military history!
