A excellent post war British 23rd SAS (Special Air Service) padded parachute qualification wing

This is a good example of a post war British 23rd SAS (Special Air Service) padded parachute qualification wing. The unit was founded in 1959, as an additional regiment of the Territorial Army, and was created from the former Reserve Reconnaissance Unit, itself descended from the body of the organisation known as Military Intelligence 9. The regiment's first commander was H. S. Gillies, at the time a lieutenant colonel. Anthony Hunter-Choat OBE was the commanding officer of the regiment from 1977 to 1983. Sebastian Morley, at that time a major, was for a period commander of D squadron until his resignation sometime during 2008. This example is in a perfect and un-issued condition.
