He actually was in the TA's version of the SAS. I worked for a time with Army Officers who got very cross when his Military "exploits" were hugely exaggerated.

Confusing, I read this
The Royal Scots Greys: He joined his father's former tank regiment as an officer during the Cold War.
Special Air Service (SAS): He later joined the elite Special Air Service (SAS) as a demolitions expert, becoming the youngest captain in the British Army at the time. He was eventually dismissed from the SAS following an off-duty stunt involving a film set explosion.
Oman: He completed counter-insurgency operations while attached to the Army of the Sultan of Oman, where he won the Sultan's Bravery Medal

It all sounds very odd, doesn’t it?
Why is his wife behaving like that? And why isn’t the Office of Public Guardian taking notice of the nursing home’s worries?
BTW, the Daily Telegraph broke the investigation results last weekend.

I agree @Grandmattie - I remember seeing it, wasn’t it his Goddaughter Pip Kay who wrote the article last weekend?
I imagine there’s a considerable estate involved somewhere.

Perhaps DAR was waiting to find out how much of this story may be validated?

Could it be that none of this is true?

What makes you say this?

Has his wife got dementia I wonder?
I would think this highly unlikely. She’s a lot younger than him, in her 50’s and I find the way she seems bent on isolating him from family and friends from his former life suspicious rather than protective.
Some pretty eminent people such as Ben Fogle and Bear Grylls are among those calling for police to investigate the location of a man who is our greatest living explorer and I do wonder, if there is nothing underhand going on, why are such devious measures being taken to hide his identity?

I too met him briefly abt 30 years ago - I was a presenter at a conference in the next hall to where he was speaking. The queue for his talk was a lot longer than mine!!!

The Independent is reporting they have seen evidence the Welsh Care Inspectorate believe it's true.

Even if he is ex-SAS what danger could he possibly be now in his present state of health.
His wife is 23 years younger than him. Could it be that she does not want the responsibility of caring for him at home so has tucked him away in a home using his safety as an excuse. I looked this up and she moves him around care homes under an assumed name and his family have no idea where he is. Surely that can't be right? It sounds extremely fishy to me.
