S. A. S. Secret weapon. When the Special Air Services leap into action from five miles high
S.A.S. Secret weapon. When the Special Air Services leap into action from five miles high, silver-haired Millie Whiteley is right behind them. And unless she gets her part of their secret plans right, the operation ends up as a nasty hole in the ground. Over the last forty years 56-year-old Millie has played a key role in some of the most audacious attacks carried out by Britains SAS. Her chosen weapon: A singer Mk 591 sewing machine. Not that she thinks its as good as the good old Mk 131 she used during the war and which still has a place of honour near her work table in Surrey. November 1984 P004309

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "S. A. S. Secret Weapon" we are transported back to November 1984, where the Special Air Services (SAS) are preparing for a daring mission. Standing proudly amidst these fearless soldiers is none other than silver-haired Millie Whiteley, ready to leap into action alongside them. At 56 years old, Millie has been an integral part of the SAS for over four decades, contributing her unique skills and unwavering determination. While others may rely on conventional weapons, Millie's chosen tool is a Singer Mk 591 sewing machine. This seemingly unconventional choice only adds to her mystique and highlights her resourcefulness in the face of danger. She cherishes her trusty Mk 131 sewing machine from her days during the war, which still holds a place of honor near her work table in Surrey. Millie's role as a key player in audacious attacks carried out by Britain's SAS showcases not only her bravery but also challenges gender stereotypes prevalent at that time. Her presence serves as a testament to the invaluable contributions women make in traditionally male-dominated fields. This photograph captures both the strength and resilience of Millie Whiteley and pays homage to all women who fearlessly pursue their passions while breaking barriers along the way.
