Hi Guys,
I've just finished NZSAS the 1st fifty years by Ron Crosby,
This is described as an offical history,and is a fantastic read from the NZSAS inception in
Malaya through to the present.
Some cool pictures and stories also show how politics played a part in its history.
The NZSAS must have been born with velcro fingers as the managed to accquire not only 12 Dumvees but also a handful of 640cc KTM motorbikes while in Afganistan.
Also while reading this it was constantly providing ideas for figure/vehicle/diorama builds.
The book isn't cheap $55.00 at the Big red shed
But well worth the money.

Chris
