I had similar experiences, and in the same era. I can remember roaming around
Kent in battledress and carrying a No 4 Lee Enfield, even on one occasion
hitching a lift in that condition. I don't remember anyone batting an eyelid
or even passing comment. My school had a full armoury, holding rifles, SMGs
and Bren guns but the last time I went back there, about 10 years ago, it had
gone.
I can also remember shooting .22 rifle at the range under the Bank of England
back in the 60's. I wonder if that range is still there. Anyone know?
