SAS DESERT STORM - Land Rover Column

Short (and silent) clip showing gun camera footage taken from a helicopter as it picks up an Iraqi POW captured by the SAS. The SAS fighting column is deep behind Iraqi lines, hunting SCUD missiles launchers during the 1991 Gulf War. The SAS men may seem overdressed for the desert, but it was actually freezing cold and the various fighting columns had winter clothing flown in with their regular re-supply airlifts.

The co-ordinates shown on the gun camera reveal the SAS's location, which can be viewed via Google Earth:
