United Kingdom Special Boat Service - “By Strength and Guile”

Video by Kanutster on YouTube

I personally know that at least two of the young officers from this documentary on Royal Marines Officer training later became commanding officers of the British Special Boat Service (SBS), the British Royal Navy’s Tier 1 Special Forces unit: Lieutenant Colonel Richard van der Horst and Lieutenant Colonel Conrad Thorpe.

Knight’s paternal grandfather was an officer and combat pilot in the Air Force and he would have gone through a very similar, if not identical, training regimen as that shown in the video, as he completed his officer’s training and received his officer’s commission on a date not far from 1961. He would have known the men in the video. It is possible that he may be featured in the video as well, but Knight will neither confirm nor deny that due to privacy reasons.

Both of Knight’s paternal great grandfathers were also Air Force officers and combat pilots and participated in the Second World War.

“Blonde women have a higher mean IQ than women with brown, red and black hair. Blondes are more likely classified as geniuses and less likely to have extremely low IQ than women with other hair colors, suggesting the dumb blonde stereotype is a myth.”

If you want to find Knight’s identity you can try the website thepeerage.com, but there are enough people on there for Knight to feel comfortable that you won’t discover his identity, unless you already know it.
