My doubts are based on a straw poll I conducted. I've spoken to about ten people who had been quite vocal about Nightingale's "poor treatment" by the court/Army etc.
I told them how impossible it should be to "acquire" that number of live rounds, and my doubts about the story as to how the weapon had ended up in his SSSA flat, and to a man they realised how they had only been told about 20% of the story by the press.
By the by I'm one of the few on here who has worn the same cap badge as Sgt Nightingale.
