Oh dear. Stirling never commanded the LRDG. And the LRDG never became the SAS. They were two separate units throughout their history. And if you know for a fact that the SAS are in the Libyan desert then you must have a level of clearance higher than the most of Cameron’s cabinet.

It does not take great “intelligence” to direct air strikes against this advancing column of tanks – unless of course there are underground tunnels leading to Benghazi and therefore these tanks cannot be seen from the air.

David Stirling was operating behind German lines in the Libyan desert. The LRDG then became the SAS which are today operating in the Libyan desert.
