Whilst doing some research into local history around my area (Sussex) I've found out about the home guard Auxiliary Units.
Wiki link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Guard_Auxiliary_Units
One of WW2's best kept secrets, apparently they had access to any of the most modern weapons available and plastic explosives, anything that they considered would be useful to them. By calling themselves "Auxiliary Units" they were dumming down their title and roles, happy for the common enemy to think that the home guard were a bunch of old men and young boys with SMLE's and a pitchfork, not highly trained operatives.
As for uniforms, they didnt wear any, English Partisans so to speak, their camoflage being to blend in with the local civilian population.
Strictly speaking not SOE but more of the fore runners, and all quite fascinating.
We have a sneaky suspicion in my family that my grandad was trained as an 'auxillary' given that for his job he claims to have had at the time with HM Forces he has a ridiculously comprehensive knowledge of explosives, industrial demolitions.sabotage and irregular warfare... not to mention hes very handy with a rifle.
Post war, he spent his time in underwater demolitions, mines rescue and similar risky jobs. Doesnt tlak about it all much though its stuff you tend to find out from his brothers and friends etc.

Interesting that you say that Gadge. the guy that now runs the range where I shoot, his granddad was also HG Aux, he was a local poacher and was recruited. He was sent away for a 3 month training period that most locals believed to be a three month stretch at his majesties pleasure. He kept quiet about it all for all his life but in his last year told how he was trained to blow up Tangmere, Douglas Bader's airfield in case of invasion. Appareently in his last days he gave up all the info apart from that one final bit of info, where the explosives were, to this day nobody knows. There has to be tons of ordinance buried along the south coast that will probably never be found!

They do still crop up occasionally. I remember way back in my youth, a cache was found in the woods where i used to play (near what was RAF Watnall in the war). At the time, late 70's/early 80's, it was thought to be an IRA arms cache, so the local coppers were all over it, until it came out in the local news that it was actually packed full of rusty guns, grenades, ammo and rather unstable explosives.
The only reason i remember it so clearly is because i'm pretty certain i found it before it became public, as there was a lone concrete slab in the woods, which was either a marker, or the hatch itself, and i was really p*ssed off that i never tried to move it myself! 
There was a camo overall that they jumped in, very rare bit of kit [as it was dumped and buried with the chute after landing]with no current repro.
There is a repro: http://www.alliedforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=103&t=2799 pegasus-drive makes them 
There you go, there is a repro.
All of his stuff is top quality. Not sure of the utility of such a garment for Airsofting, it was designed to be dumped on landing. Get caught wearing it and you are obviously a spy.
