Simon and Mike I concur, and Mike badge on left arm is all arms Cdo, I think it is fantasy because:

His first medal is RN / RM champion shot (twice as that ever happened? Cadet Forces medal has precedence so should be last?) He saw service in NI pre 82, did the FI, Gulf War 1, an other Op (mid), Sierra Leone 2000, Iraq 2003 and Afghan at least 2001 - managing to hit every bar entitlement date / Op. And be in at least 2002 for Jubilee. It is possible but highly unlikely, he also had to in his career - an all arms Cdo cse, Pilots cse and SAS selection and reach LtCol in SAS.

Even if above possible he would no doubt wear bullion wings on SD. There would be a couple more tailor fixings for that length of medals (not just two), the tailor also wouldnt have a stray ribbon from group.


Also if shirt and tie came with uniform not Officer pattern and collars look anodised not sp and gilt for Offr.

Happy if quoted wrong to be told so. Just my views, the SAS are supermen, but I believe this configuration of things wrong -including Mike's and Simon's points of mixing rank materials, spacing of rank and adding a Saudi and Kuwait, when it is such a no no with regs - is out of this world.
Merry Xmas
