No intention to kick anyone because that was a valid question! It is all too easy to just mix up LRDG and SAS.
All the best!

Good researching Martin.

These units had a close association f'sure with the concept of deep recce patrols being pioneered by the Long Range Patrol almost from outset of Allied ops in Western Desert.

Thought you may appreciate attached photo reconstruction of LRDG jeep which may have helped inspire Andy ;-)
Camouflage paint scheme may even inspire some more debate or projects too!

By the Way, Officer in the LRDG truck is Brendan O'Carroll renown author who has documented the history of the unit from primary source materials. His work is highly recommended if you'd like to learn more.

Hope this helps,

Mike
