When I returned from Afghanistan, I had to return my weapons to UXBRIDGE. I dutifully handed over an L85 A2 ('SA-80') and a L9 Al ('Browning'), along with assorted cleaning kits, spare mags etc. The Armourer then asked me for my bayonet. My heart sank. I had clearly signed for one but never saw it in my time when I had my rifle out on ops. He then said 'I'll have to charge you for it' and my heart sank even further. £13.00, apparently although the charge never seemed to surface; I wish I had known because I would have definitely kept one for that price!
