The fearsome unit targeted German and Italian air bases in daring nighttime raids that saw them destroy hundreds of enemy aircraft. A man of extraordinary nerve but equally a man with a problematic temperament, Mayne epitomised the qualities you’d look for in an SAS operative. But there were undoubtedly aspects of his personality that would cause any commander to doubt his suitability. Benidorm star turned Hollywood sensation Bel Powley weds fellow actor Douglas Booth in idyllic ceremony after seven years of dating Kendall Jenner steps out in business casual for a meeting in Los Angeles... after partnering with sister Kylie Jenner for a Batman Forever costume The reason, it can now be revealed, was a British spy, an undercover fascist named Teddy Schurch, who infiltrated groups of SAS prisoners by posing as an inmate himself and extracting vital information that led to scores of deaths.Mayne's name was recommended to Captain David Stirling by his friend Lt. Eoin McGonigal, a fellow officer of No. 11 (Scottish) Commando, and an early volunteer for the Special Air Service (SAS); then known simply as the Parachute Unit. It is widely believed that Mayne was under arrest for hitting his commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Geoffrey Charles Tasker Keyes when Stirling met him. A hand-written entry in Keyes' personal diary states that he was not at the officer's mess of No. 11 (Scottish) Commando at Salamis on Cyprus on the evening of 21 June 1941, the date on which Mayne was accused of beating up a fellow officer, Major Charles Napier. Keyes had stayed the night elsewhere, and arrived at Salamis the following day, 22 June 1941, when the trouble was already over. Keyes states in his diary that he conducted an investigation and found Mayne responsible. [12]
