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?

not a clue buddy, im no military expert, just saying what i saw. :) and when i said HALO WINGS, i was meaning the SAS wings, not the same as para wings are they. and as i said im no military expert but ill put money on it there is some sas troopers that still where patch insignia ect on a routine exercise somewhere, even if its an old 95 jacket with a patch on or summet.
