The movie sparked the memory of seeing it in a SAS book but it was in b&w. God those SAS types are the dogs bullocks.

Found this via GOOGLE;
Hi Tonet, I am in the UK though I did spend nearly 15 years in Germany in the army and my oldest son lives and works there. I live in the city of Hereford home of the SAS lol. I am 59 and semi retired.I am originaly from South Wales but Hereford was my last post in the army so I stayed her it s only 1 hour 15 drive to visit my familly so this is ok.
by Rich
The question is in jest, a reference to the movie, RONIN, eh, Tonet?
Is there really a boathouse in Hereford? If so, I'm rather curious about the colour since we never get an answer from the movie.

Hi Jaime,There is the Hereford rowing club right on the river bank can't remember the colours though concrete and dark oak I think lol, must take a run past again to see. I have'nt seen the movie (film here) lol so I do'nt know.
I think it is urban myth brought on by a good line in a popular movie, anyway the 22nd Reg has moved to an old RAF base, Credenhill in Herefordshire.
A better question would be:
What is engraved on the Regimental Clock Tower?

not really. It's been widely written about in most of the "I was a teenage SAS operator" books that were so hot in the '90s. Any poser could bluff through it.

I've never personally been to Hereford, but a good friend of my Uncle's ex-girlfriend told me that the boat-house is gray. By the same token, the clock-tower supposedly says "set your watch back one hour". Something to do with special SAS "daylight savings time", or some such....
Anyhow.....Armed with the above wisdom, I heartily advise each and every one of you to sally forth onto various international military discussion sites and spread the truth. SOCNET.com and Lightfighter.net would be great places for you guys to start telling the various "internet wannabes" that they don't have a frigging clue..... After all, it is well-known that the people who hang out on those sites "can't handle the truth!!"
Seriously. Go for it.

On 30 September 2000 at 11.00 hours, the 22nd Special Air Service Regiment held the Official Opening Ceremony for their new Stirling Lines Headquarters at Credenhill in Herefordshire.
It was performed by both The Rt Hon The Earl of Jellicoe and the Regiments Commanding Officer. The ceremony took place next to the unit's majestic and sombre "Clock Tower", which had been re-housed in the barracks memorial garden in front of the Regimental church.
Engraved on the memorial are the names of Regiment members who have lost their life after being prepared to "go beyond that last blue mountain barred with snow" which is the units aim. Included was the last name, Brad Tinnion, who gave his life in the recent Sierra Leone conflict.

Sorry, no clue about the colour of the boathouse, but the full inscription on the clock reads:
We are the Pilgrims, master; we shall go
Always a little further; it may be
Beyond that last blue mountain barred with snow
Across that angry or that glimmering sea...

Its just a trick, a deception. Why would they move the SAS? Everyone knows the SAS is part of the Army. Why would they be at an RAF base? Obviously a rouse. Its like moving JTF2 to Cold Lake.
I saw a book that said the boathouse was plywood, can anyone confirm?
