They weren't SAS they were SFSG who shouldn't have been wearing any insignia really, some blokes still do though if it's local.

SAS or SB for that matter no longer wear unit insignia on the uniform as far as I'm aware, only giveaway is belts and berets (neither of which would be worn on exercise).

HALO wings? Never knew there were such a thing. Are SFSG now doing HALO to jump with them?
