[edit] HAC and Special Forces status

I do not know its status now, but for the period during the mid-1980s when Andrew Selous was in the HAC, all four Squadrons carried the 'Special Forces' designation. When writing Selous' biography, it does not seem reasonable to remove the 'Special Forces' description of Two Squadron HAC simply because the writer believes it does not carry that designation today.
