Maj. Mike Sadler, one of the first recruits and the last surviving member
of Britain’s Special Air Service (S.A.S.), died on Thursday in Cambridge,
England. He was 103.

Dubbed a human GPS by the New York Times, Sadler served in the Long Range
Desert Group (LRDG), an elite reconnaissance unit prized by the British for
its prowess at deep desert exploration and infiltration of enemy-held
wilderness.

As the key navigator within the LRDG, it was Sadler’s duty to guide the
commandos — including the likes of Robert Blair “Paddy” Mayne — as they
“crept onto Nazi airfields; attached time bombs to Messerschmitt fighters,
Stuka dive bombers, fuel dumps and pilot quarters; then sped away as
explosions roared behind,” writes the NYT.

Fascinating, thanks.

There was a TV programme in which the actor that played Mike met him in
person, and during which pictures of the real Mike in North Africa and the
actor dressed for filming, were juxtaposed. It was difficult to tell the
one from the other.
