African Scout units

[FuturePara]

Does anyone have anyone pictures, artists renderings of the Selous Scouts, Rhedesian SAS, South African Recce/SF Brigade guys? Or any other African Scout formations?
Thanks in advance.

Yes. I'm at work at the moment, so I don't have the URL with me. I'll PM it to you when I get home.....

May I ask what your interest in "African" Scout units is?

Well I've read quite a bit about the Selous Scouts, Rhodesian Light Infantry, and Rhodesian SAS in the Rhodesian war and was simply amazed about the counter-insurgency, and combat tracking skills and abilities that they displayed. I believe that the African SF, and scout formations were probably some of the, if not the best tracker units in history, and possilby best SF units given their under funding but knowledge of the terrain and people.
I've also read about some of the thigns the Recce Commandos/ South African SF Brigade has done and was equally impressed. Especially when I heard more people have climbed Everest then pass the selection course?

That guy looks the like the leader of a hunting 'group' that Ray Mears went tracking with on one of his programmes... Well he looks like him :). Was pretty amazing watching them track the animals by becoming, well acting (using noises and body movements), the animals :D.
