Good old British arms dealing; nice to see we are still playing both sides.
"The Israeli Defence Forces have confirmed to us that they have found some night vision equipment, which they believe to be British, in southern Lebanon," a Foreign Office spokesman said.
"We are seeking further details of the equipment to investigate whether it is British and, if so, by whom it was made and to whom it was sold."

It also happened in the Korean War if I am not wrong. British weapons were found in possession of North Koreans who had got them from the Chinese who in their turn had bought them from British sources.
Arms dealing/dealers (like drug dealing/dealers) - the great unwritten story.
Ahhh! You say unwritten, but click on "British arms dealing" above and you may find something worth reading.
Interesting...thanks
