Over the past 60 years Britain's Special Air Service regiment has carried out a wide variety of clandestine missions - from deep-penetration raiding to hostage release operations - which have made it respected and feared for its professionalism and daring.

But, over the years, sufficient information has emerged for a picture of the regiment's exploits to be clear.
