Place reservation for X Platoon : the true story of an elite British unitFor three decades one of the most secretive units in the British military has been a mystery force known variously as the Shadow Wing, the Black Unit or X Platoon. Officially there was no X Platoon. The sixty men in its elite number were culled from units across the Armed Forces, at which point they simply ceased to exist. X Platoon had no budget, no weaponry, no vehicles and no kit - apart from what its men could beg, borrow or steal from other military units. Here a highly decorated veteran of this shadow force reveals its history.
