Falklands war hero fiddled the books at SAS training centre
Jul 28 2005
A war hero faces being dismissed by the Ministry of Defence after being convicted yesterday of fiddling the books at a military training centre.
Shamed instructor David Fenwick, 56, was found guilty of four charges of false accounting while in charge of a military hang- gliding and paragliding centre used by the SAS."

The SAS is the Special Air Service.. UK's special operations troops.
Now.. any wonder tht the Secret Service worries about is?

Where James Bond Learned to Hang Glide!
Yeah, reports keep flowing about special operations forces in various
countries having hang-gliders - these are usually powered trikes,
though. We need to work harder to get the gumshoes to understand the
difference in mobility and payload between a powered trike and a
glider, and then between any of these and a large transport aircraft
fully loaded with fuel. - Hugh
