SAS CELEBRATES ITS 50 TH ANNIVERSARY
20 September 2007
Hundreds of former members of Australia's Special Air Service Regiment and their families have spent the week at Perth's Campbell Barracks celebrating the unit's 50th Anniversary.
Crowds enjoyed a range of capability demonstrations and displays put on by current serving members, including parachuting and rappelling from S-70 Black Hawk helicopters.
The week's events even included a golf day, a rugby match and a fashion parade.
But it was the chance to meet up with old mates that had these diggers coming to Perth from all over Australia and overseas.
In many cases it was the first time ex-members had set foot in Campbell Barracks since their serving days.
