This one's not bad:
Welcome to www.lrdg.de
Some nice biographical & mission details.

Currently reading their Regt History but this is a rather good story from one of their men who joined the LRDG.

Here´s a link to the book Episodes & Studies, volume 1, part of the official Kiwi history in WW2, which contains very interesting info on LRDG ops in North Africa and the Greek islands.

Picture shows an Israeli Avia downing an Egyptian Spitfire in ´48. Guatemala gave the deciding vote at the UN that year for Israel to become a nation.
