Just reading a book by Dennis Williams - Stirlings in action with Airborne Forces, and interestingly, whilst on a larger scale, seems to offer a blue print for the development of SF support to SAS,SBS etc in modern times. 620 and 190 Squadrons operating from Fairford are the focus of the book which is very reasonably priced, particularly on Kindle. It's interesting to see where the likes of the Hereford Hooligans feel they can stroll about in enemy occupied territory, unmolested.
Coff, nice work on the first day covers, I reckon my missing Nav bag contains at least one example of your post. I feel the need to re stimulate Mrs Smudge, award myself a "wee dram" and once more hold the ladder as she bravely ascends
