I was a priest in the British army chaplains corps and eventually ended up with the para regiment. To maintain fitness and our jump qualifications we had to take part in various jump exercises. Considering my main task was the spiritual welfare of the army personnel on base and during training exercises, thus been a part time para was a second. One year whilst out on one of these famed exercises in Wales, I had come across some lads who invited me for a beer and a jump with them. I found out a few days later that these lads were from the SAS also taking part in the exercises. Long story short. I did a jump with them and as usual I would say prayer and afterwards one of the lads came up to me and said, “don’t worry father, we already have wings so we are going in the right direction.” 😊😊 Remarkable lads they were. Truly remarkable. I am 65 years old now and out of the army, but still remember those lads.
Brilliant!
Being a chief sky pilot…you always have the words of our lord
I bet they remember you, too and with equal vividness and fondess!
A shepherd must smell like the sheep 👍🏻
You knew these lads were special when they made you jump from 35,000 feet!
Imagine being in Norway alone in the middle of nowhere. , You look around you and everything white with all that snow. Except on the brow of a distant hill, is row of what looks like...moustaches.
Never underestimate the power of the moustache 😂😂
Very 70’s moustaches at that…lol…😊
😂😂😂😂
You know, ‘cos you were; that soldier :p
To be fair the fantastic series Behind The Lines (Royal Marines) has a higher Moustache Count but I will give the SAS credit for quality. 🤣
Somehow the world looked colder and muddier in the 1980s
That's Wales for you Brecon is unbelievable weather make or break you.
Walles... The worst place in Europe. Thé Best place for testing your mental strengt.
I love these old documentaries. No BS, clear and concise commentary and synthesised music!
Absolutely,no messing about,there’s some really good British Army documentary’s on BBC archives from the 1980’s which is filmed in a similar way
Ah the Cold war of the 80s when times were simpler😂😂😂
have you seen the Royal Marines arctic warfare cadre one from the early 80's? The best series like. this.
This isn't a documentary, it was a training film for the armed forces to advertise SF. I remember being shown this late 80's. It was classified as secret , so wasn't released in civvy street
@mkrbrtsn1 Yep, one of the best I've seen. Up there with 'The Paras'.
I can't recall who said it but the most amusing response I have heard in a documentary was when a SAS veteran was asked if he was on the Iranian Embassy job in 1980; he replied "No, but I've met 3000 people who were." Referring, of course to the number of wannabe's out there. Well done guys and thank you for your service.
Get down to Hereford 😅😅😂
Sounds like John Mcaleese
Or John Haze....god rest him....a privilege to call him my friend, and big McAleese, what a man....
@@johnfromscotland1050 one of the best . never be forgotten . retired 1wg .
If I remember right that was Rusty Firmin that said that.
Just learned of the death of Mike Sadler, one of the founder members. Brilliant navigator. RIP Mike.
Just read his obit. What a life.
I love these old documentaries (old like me) - reminds me of my time growing up in the 80’s and these military documentaries were of particular interest.
I have seen this, it was televised. Thanks for posting 👍
It's hard to believe that those guys were probably in their late 20s or early 30s. They all look older! Much respect to our elite forces.
I met both SAS and SBS at STANTA just before the Iraq War in 2003. They were all very young, mostly in their early to late twenties. (I remember saying that to the Labourers at the camp). A part from their massive back muscles - they looked just like any other soldier. SFs is a young mans game.
They look much older because they ate crap food and smoked twenty fags a day. John Mac smoked twenty in an hour !
@@michaelhall8981
Not if it is Sean Connery....😂😂😂😂
@@jplacido9999 Or Roger Moor
Its a combination of smoking and moustaches.
Also, look at that hair! its so thick and glossy, my wife would give my right nut for hair like that! What product do they use?
You can be the most skilled, fittest , determined, intelligent, man on planet earth, but if you’re unable to grow a particular looking moustache you’re just not going to cut the mustard 😂
Nice 👍😂
Bless … that made me laugh .. those particular moustaches at that time belonged to Royal Marines .. as being part of the Navy they weren’t allowed to grow beards , because of all the different masks required so they had moustaches .. a particular moustache ..
The SAS is made up of all combat trained personnel.. back in the day., paras marines mostly ..
so true that's what stopped the wife getting in the sas her moustache was crap
@@henguspod3899 let’s hope she has a restyle and gives it another go 🤞🙏🏽
I've tried 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
These guys should be getting the footballers wages of today
Very much agreed. Society has its priorities wrong.
Don’t talk daft
@@CaboloNero how is that daft? It's the same with onlyfans. People get paid thousands to post videos of themselves naked while the heroes of society that sacrifice and do superhuman things to keep democracy safe get paid almost nothing in comparison. Makes no sense. it is sick.
Facts!! I agree! 100% 🙌🏾👍🏾👌🏾
I understand what you are saying. However, I disagree politely. Why do I disagree with you? Because nobody should be volunteering for an outfit like the SAS purely or mostly for money. Doing that would change the whole vibe of the unit. You volunteer for the SAS because it looks interesting, you like adventure and because you believe in what you are doing... idealistic.
Amazingly good video! Thanks for posting!
Thanks for sharing great video.
Brilliant documentary , the questions at the start made the Spanish Inquition look like a walk in the park "what you would choose your friends over military capability" , let alone the rest, if you get in the SAS you've DEFINITELY EARN IT !
Thank you for archiving this
The anxiety of about to press that button and hoping your going to hear that “thud” in the distance. Balls of British steel on every level
A Family Friend served in SAS in Australia and served in Korea and Vietnam, He spoke very little of it, and Only after His Passing did we learn Of His Courageous career. RIP, SAR MAJOR KEALY..
20:12 My dad was on the balcony…. He was a fireman helping to put out the fire at the green dragon hotel back in 1989. But he used a ladder, not an abseiling rope.
The multiskill of the SAS is off the charts, bravo lads 👍
These were obviously actors as most of those wouldnt fight the way out of a wet paper bag lol
@@murdock6450 Interesting, please supply a factual link to your claim 'lol'
@@onlyme219 Dude .. or woman.. those of fricken BETA males.. SAS are ALPHA
@@murdock6450quite a few faces from B Sqd who were involved in the Iranian Embassy are shown, Rusty Firmin, Bob Curry and Ian 'Chalky' White to name but a few.
Made in 1984 and Never seen until now! THANKS MARINES TRAINING! We only had to wait 39 years! 😁
Oh what lies people put out to get viewers.
Well done to each and every one of these guys weather they made it or not. Because I think I would have failed on the first hurdle. It’s brilliant that we people like this. I just hope the S A S are still operational. Thank you guys.
That SSVC intro just put me way back to when i was 9 year old PadBrat!

I remember being dropped behind enemy lines during the Gulf War, quite a long way in fact, it was Glastonbury.
Surprised you weren't on the balcony!

Oh man, that's cool. Things were a bit rough around the edges back then.
"Information technology - such as electrical typewriters - are essential to operations" :)
Dropped from a great height - they are lethal. Special weapons for ops.
All they want is fitness, determination, and the will to continue doing that, you're selected, and then the real work begins.
IMPRESSIVE!!
I think I remember seeing this in about 1989, during a recruitment drive within regiments.
I remember seeing it too but thought it was before that, I could be wrong as it was nearly 40 years ago
@@DevilbyMoonlight you could be right, thinking about it, I joined in 1982 did 9 years, lot of time has passed. 👍
It was made in 1978 thats me with the mustache.
… but, it’s never seen before! 🤥🤭😂
1984, four years before I joined the Army. Not much has changed in terms of the methods used in training. If it works and all that.
Seen it a couple years back, but in parts. 👍👍
Never seen before now, Unless you know someone worked for ssvc :) great upload. Liked and subbed.
Glad you liked it!
@@marinestrainer A1 keep them coming.
This has been on RUclips before because I watched it at least maybe more than a year ago.
Well it’s a lie. This is in no way unknown or unseen.
My uncles dog got to know the dog of a milkman that drove the same float as a man who read the gas meter to a woman who's father painted his spare room in tne same colour as the boathouse , ive got many stories as i was practically one of " them".

Don`t mention the colour of the boathouse ffs !
@@bertmacdonald337 what is the colour of the boathouse
No way! Mine too!
@@pauljones8218 Magnolia, the same as every other military building .
I was in the boy scouts 1982-1984. Things got pretty hairy around Cherokee Lake, I remember one night we ran out of cookie dough and another night when we were telling ghost stories and I had to go pee by myself. Yep, heady days indeed.
I've not slept well in days and still sketched a portrait of a judge in court today. I believe this qualifys as one of the requirements.
Thanks 🙏❤
The SAS attract a very robust sort to their ranks. But by far the bravest man in this film was the K series 4-tonner driver hurtling down that hill and round the bend, on an icy road right next to a ravine by a frozen river. And all without power steering.
I was clenching my arse watching that haha
3 second delay on brakes, but that gearbox was silky smooooooth!
@@digitalradiohacker meanwhile, everybody in the back is being slowly gassed to death by a mixture of exhaust fumes and the sheer amount of duty-free Benson & Hedges being smoked.
@@srednivashtar5432
And another thing....
Why is it, that you get wetter and colder inthe back of a 4-ton Bedford with a canopy than you do in an open-topped Landrover?
@@digitalradiohacker 3 ton ?
Brings back memories (not of SAS) of training. The first time firing an SLR and looking like my favourite Action Man.
First and most serious... 👏👏👏
I saw this when i was in the army during the 1980s when the SAS came to the barracks to get the lads interested in trying to apply for the SAS
Wow...The Green Dragon Hotel In Hereford... hasn't changed since this was filmed
Great upload. Thanks. Always dreamed of being in the SAS...Alas it remained a dream and I dont think its a place for dreamers anyway

No it's a place of watchers, recorders, and if necessary Doers!
SAH!. Sorry not sure what that means. Is that SAS code speak?
You possess one important attribute 'Self awareness'
Fair play mate. With that incredible insight you have. Nod, Nod, Wink, Wink, say no more @@samrodian919
Good stuff , thank you , , a civ vy 😍👍♥️
SAS in their own words is a brilliant 3 part documentary I highly recommend
I watched this in the early 80's .
I've seen this before. I can't remember when a good few years ago!
It’s OK. I know exactly when and where you saw it, but I’m not going to tell anyone 🥷🏼 👍🏿
SSVC Jesus!!! That takes me back!!
The sas are the best just as the sbs and commandos are
Respect our armed forces and special forces
They are all nonces the only real men are the Paratroopers 😂😂😂
You gotta love the prolific gunfighter mustache!
Standard issue back then😂
19:08 Check out the pink panther. Always wanted one of those.
First saw this in 87. Bits have been cut out including the abseiling during CT training.
you are correct this is heavily edited , the original full film shows a couple of junior officers attempting selection who later passed and went on to high office infact one of them later became O.C of Special forces , notice at 4.55 they guy with only one hand ? a legend in the unit but kept on due many years loyal prior service
@@michaelwhittaker5432 Indeed many familiar faces. Surprised they weren't shown carrying weapons on the selection marchs. The full version is floating around somewhere else on YT. Shame about the cheesey synth used for the backing. Plenty of decent synth sounds back in the 80's to choose from.
Never seen until now, except when I saw it about 5 years ago, lol.
I think my dad must of watched this show. Early morning boat on the sand bank trick ect ect.
They are really really good.
this is giving Battle of Yavin energy with those haircuts and mustaches
😂
I may be wrong but I think there are some well known troopers in this video. One of the guy who was killed on the famous Bravo Two Zero patrol I think. Plus a hero of Oman.
The guy with the hook hand at 5:00 is Bill Foxton. Former FFL and he worked in Oman in the 80's as Welfare Officer for the Army / SAF. killed himself on a park bench in London. google him. Personal friend of mine. RIP Bill.
I just read about him on Google. How tragic . RIP Mr Foxton@@jammiedodger629
Bob Bennett on the firing range near the start was at Mirbat.
Is that the umpire in Ch4 programme SAS at 18 minutes, certainly sounds like him.
i remember seeing a documentary about the Iranian embassy siege. At the very end this guy said "if you bring your tactics to Britain, you're gonna end up on the slab" ....how hollow those words sound now.
Why
@@kevinburke52137/7, Ariana Grande concert etc. If they intend to end up on the slab anyway, the warning is meaningless.
That would have been Pete Winner/Warne (Soldier I) who was on the back, ground floor entry team, at Princess Gate.
Unfortunately as time goes on I think we are all blind to the truth. I do believe that, all of china thinks they are the righteous and accepting of what they see on TV same as Russia same as errrrr Poland UK USA. How can we accept anything we have ever been taught or led to believe as fact. Here's a fact,imagine how lucky you are, in some countries if you own a TV you by law (prison time if you get caught) have to pay a government tax for a licence that pays for the state broadcaster, then the news is also dictated by the government and countless times has been found to be aware that what they are reporting is incorrect. This country by the way is the UK yep great Britain you pay a tax for the BBC which is now openly militant left.
@@kevinburke5213 The politicians have opened the borders to such an extent such that anyone, with any ideology is allowed in and allowed to openly work against the UK.
SSVC! blimey ..thats memory lane...
30 radios? Presumably for inter-service comms? How did these guys ever get out of the classroom? And check out the Green Dragon Hotel in Hereford from 40 years ago!!
'He who would true Valiant Be!'..
I was in the SAS years ago - the Saturdays and Sundays…..😊
Also
Me too, 40 years ago. I had to leave when my stick got jammed and davie had to go home for his bath.
I seen the sas once, Scottish ambulance service.

Well interesting video
Language courses used to be at DSL Beaconsfield. Not sure where they go now.
Defence Languages Wing co-located at Staff College Shrivenham. Swindon does not begin to touch Beaconsfield, with its links to London, for cultural richness.
The guy at 05.00m has a hook for a hand! Im guessing DS then -he has no Bergen colour marker and seems to know the guy in the bivvy? (It says 1984 on the SSVC blurb at the start)
I believe that guys nickname was ‘Longshank’. Duncan falconer talks in his book about an SAS member as a DS on 14 int selection. He lost his hand from a mortar explosion trying to get the record for most mortars in the air at one time but accidentally double fed the tube resulting in it exploding.
Might be a completely different guy though 😂
It was made in 1977, thats me with the mustache, now sadly very white.

Good eyes
I served in the reg in the early nineties, the ardest thing I remember was having to get up an hour before we went too bed
You were lucky! When I served we had to survive for a week, in a hole in the road and the Sargeant would give us a good hiding each morning for breakfast. But we were happy! 😂
LUXURY
We had an sas hard man in our social group for a while, he was a real tough bastard that pushed his weight around a bit….until someone poked him in the eyes when they had had enough of his crap. This taught me a life lesson, the hardest man in the world is just as soft as his softest parts.
Poked him in his eye, who the hell pokes someone in the eye lol was he a 4 year old 🤣
more likely an ex squaddie not SAS more than likely he applied and got kicked out within
3 days
Was he really SAS or just a Walter Mitty? The ones I know never let on to anyone. They just keep themselves to themselves. They are just every day blokes.
I worked with someone who served 6 years with 22SAS. The fact that I grew up in Hereford probably helped him relate to me a bit and he did say a few interesting things, aside from swearing at me in Arabic if I screwed up!
He got badged on his second attempt at selection. He said it drains you, you get to a point on the Welsh hills when your body does not want to go on and you have to find something inside to make you continue putting one foot in front of the other. He fought in Oman in the 1970s and was flown out a few days before his daughter was born. He did not see her until she was nearly 4 months old. He said the SAS was no place for a married man. He also did a bit of body guarding for various heads of state (mostly Arabic as he spoke the language) on their visits to the UK.
He could have stayed with the SAS longer but went back to the Paras as he spent so much time abroad he was missing his family grow up.
@@mairiconnell6282 if they never let on and keep it to themselves how do you know they were SAS ?
Najbolji ste u fudbalu.To vam niko ne moze osporiti.

Recruitment/Information videos for those in the Paras and Marines who wanted to join
I didn't need an answer thanks.. I no
Not to mention this video was recorded from a previous source, as evidenced several times throughout the video!
At the start of this video I had to laugh, as even the Sneaky beakys are subjected to “Death by Viewfoil!” 😂
Makes a change from them sitting in a nice warm office listening to intercepts while reading the latest edition of "Mayfair". bloody slime. lol.
@@jammiedodger629 🤣🤣
Lewis Collins passed selection for 23 SAS
I believe he passed Hills Phase, but the Regiment took him off the course due to him being too recognisable as an actor
@@paulhindle5143Lewis applied for 21 not 23, he didn't get past pre selection, too high profile. He was in 10 Para before that. Nonetheless the guys had & still have a lot of respect for him. RIP Lewis!

Mick Gould and is that John mc in the film as well mick Gould heat movie
This is from the 1970s and prior to the Iranian Embassy seige when they became a household name. It was all very hush-hush back then and few soldiers in the ordinary regiments and corps even knew about them. Hnece the Secret designation of this video.
No. 1984! Nigel 'Spud' Ely is in the library section towards the end. He had just passed selection but was posted back to 2 Para during the Falklands War and fought at Goose Green.
These people all have firm beliefs!

John Brown his son Nick was killed in Iraqi with the Reg.
RAF Stenigot they’re posing as “Vlissen?” for the training mission. Surprised to see the place, but I guess it would have been freshly decommissioned in the early ’80’s
The year this film was made is ratehr prophetic I have to say.
The selection success rate has dropped massively since this video. Probably due to the increased amount trying.
15% mentioned in this vid. It’s now about 2-3%
I would be really interested to see if timed distances with weight were quicker slower or similar today than they were back then.Its just a guess but I think that the modern soldier is physically fitter than a soldier of the 70s or 80s.Back then the food wasn't as healthy and second hand smoke and emitions were far more common than they are today.As we all know through the books and vids today the older soldier would probably say does the modern soldier have the toughness or determination of the older soldiers?I would give that to the older decades soldier, so it probably all evens out.I would still love to see the timings It .would just be interesting. 👍👍
@@shaundavenport621 good point. I know that the weather and other aspects have a significant effect on timings so they don’t have a timed cutoff any more. They have to keep up with the DS.
This doesn’t shed any light on the generational differences but it shows how small variations can change the result.
