SWAT COLLECTOR'S DIGEST

SAS Leads the way! Operation NIMROD/PAGODA TROOP'S Explosive Entry into the Iranian Embassy, Princess Gate, London UK 1980. Good Lads (Red & Blue Teams), all of them.

MORE SAS NEWS: T.E.E.S. has been recently sold to the British Firm OLIVE GROUP, and the Good News is ex-NZSAS member Alan "Kiwi" Brosnan is staying on as Training Director and they will keep their highly recognizable two man SAS Troopers "Always go in Pairs" design as part of their company logo.

With John "Mac" McAleese at SWAT ROUND-UP INTERNATIONAL 2007, whose signature appears on the Signed,Numbered, limited Edition of the SAS Entry Team Poster above.He and Singleton were Pagoda Troop members who participated in the famous Iranian Embassy Siege at Princess Gate, LONDON 1980.

And Yes, I know this is not the flashlight or "torch" if you will, that was used during that siege.Phil Singleton and I worked on a Figurine project together that was the most accurate depiction of a NIMROD SAS CRW Raider to date, and he painstakingly drew each piece of kit that was used for that Op from the underwear on up. Attention to such small details such as the manner to which SAS Troopers laced their boots was paid close attention to. The lessons learned on that project greatly helped me when I commissioned a sculptor in the UK to accurately render my FBI SWAT Operator figurine later.The Sculptor stated that the FBI SWAT figure was the most detailed that he had ever worked on (which says a lot if you see some of the other Work he has rendered). There are only a couple of them left, and they are presently being held.
