Thanks. I've been looking for SAS Boat Troop/SBS stuff for 2 years now and have never seen one of these come up for sale.

This type of radio was used by the SAS during ‘Op Nimrod’ (The Iranian Embassy siege) which took place from 30 April to 5 May 1980.

It came with a standard 'fist-mike' as shown in the picture, but during the siege, the radio would have been paired with a ‘Storno’ PTT (Press-To-Transmit), earpiece and throat mike.

The silver disc at the front is the volume control.

I have a charger and parts of another radio in a box somewhere, so will see if I can bring it to life when I find them.
