On a sunny afternoon on the Isle of Wight, the Royal Engineers were presented with a special gift from the crew of HMS Gladiator – their very own gig! The sleek and sturdy vessel, named GNN-66, was handed over in a ceremony filled with pomp and pride.

The Royal Engineers, known for their expertise in engineering and construction, were thrilled to receive the gig as a symbol of camaraderie and cooperation between the naval and land forces. The vessel will be used for training exercises, team-building activities, and of course, the occasional friendly race on the water.

As the sun set on the horizon, the Royal Engineers gathered around GNN-66, admiring its craftsmanship and imagining all the adventures that lie ahead. A photo was taken to commemorate this special occasion, capturing the proud faces of the crew and the gleaming hull of the gig.

Here’s to many successful voyages for GNN-66 and the Royal Engineers, forging bonds and building bridges between land and sea. Cheers to a bright future filled with teamwork and triumph! #HMSGladiator #RoyalEngineers #GNN66 #IsleofWight #Teamwork #Navy #Engineering #ProudMoment.

Captured on camera, on the 5th of May 1980, the British ArmyÆs elite Special Air Service stormed the Iranian Embassy in London, where hostages were being held by Iraqi terrorists. Within ten minutes, the terrorists were killed, and the remaining hostages rescued. Who were these black-clad men in balaclavas, who resolved the conflict with such ruthless efficiency? This programme examines the SAS, from its conception as a shall, deep-penetration raiding force led by Commando Office David Stirling in the deserts of Libya and Egypt in World War II, to its work on the modern day battlefields in the Falklands and Gulf wars.
