great story!!
there is a programme on one of the sky channels at the moment called
'SAS- the originals'.. and it's narrated by col tim collins. it's only into it's 2nd episode and although the LRDG are always seen as a forerunner to the SAS, this programme makes you think that they 'were' and they 'weren't'..
it seems that when they were in their infancy (SAS), they had to beg, borrow and steal pretty much everything until they got noticed and the doubters were convinced.
i personally get the impression that the LRDG were very established when the SAS were beginning to make a mark on the war, but in a nut shell they had no transport whatsoever, hence they used the LRDG as a kind of 'drop-off' service! it seems that they would go and hammer the jerries and the LRDG would be waiting to pick them up again at the RV.....assuming the LRDG had fun of their own to take care of in the mean time!
all the same, it's a nice story to hear... even 'bizarre' to find her letters from when she was a little girl in the pouch too!
