Blimey............that re envigered my memory banks, yes totally forgot all about yet another piece of crap we had ha ha!
Lots of good stuff came from the Trial and Error unit at SASC thats why Benny left us and went over to the dark side with you

All joking aside, if it wasn't for you guys many a battle would have been lost had we stuck ridgidly with the bondooks as they were issued. So much was learnt in addition to the manufacturers issued "guide book" on every single weapon, from total experience in the field.

Just take the SA80 as an example and how it has evolved to what it is today, from such early disastrous operational days..... days I shall never forget, however, all the info gathered by you guys made it what it is now, how you found the patience I'll never know, I would have stuck it up someones area where the sun doesn't shine at Royal Ordnance at lot earlier than when it did finally get inserted
