Subject: Non Brits in the SAS?
DragonReborn    6/28/2007 12:07:49 PM
I was reading some of the threads about the Ghurkhas in the British Army and the fact that because of the high selection criteria the British Army can be more selective than any unit in the world even the SAS and it got me thinking. I am sure I've read stories before of some Fijians (another ethnic group heavily recruited into British Army because of the strong warrior creed) being in the SAS but never examples of Ghurkhas being moved up into the SAS? Can anyone confirm the history of Fijians in the SAS and whether Ghurkhas have been allowed in? Does anyone else know of other examples of non-Brits who have fought in the SAS (Delta / SASR aside)?

Blair `Paddy` Mayne was from Newtownards in Northern Ireland, an Ulsterman who would consider himself British.  He played international Rugby for Ireland and for the British & Irish Lions.  There is a 2004 documentary about him and believe there is a film in the offing being filmed in Northern Ireland right now.
