    Disappointed that Ashover had to be cancelled, I had a little light-up in the garden last night.

    Good light up Henry.
    That set up, with two Swiss hospital stands, looks familiar ;-)

    Thanks guys. @podbros the Continental 5015/S is the petrol
    version of this Pionier 4615 S

    and so it should, I remember seeing your a set-up at one of the meetings in Germany and thought it was a good idea.

    A few pictures from last night. I didn't light many because rain was forecast and I didn't want to be caught out, it's now just after mid day and no sign of rain.

    These first two taken from a bedroom window with and without flash.

    Again, with/without flash left to right: Nagel-Chase model 4, Coleman Mil-spec (on stand), Hasag 351L, Vapalux 300, Lilor 5080, Evening Star with built-in pump like this one but with plain filler cap 1925 Evening Star R92076 and an AGM 3927.

    This, believe it or not shows (left to right) Petromax 2827, Unic 9 (more of which later), Optimus 300, Continental 710 and an Australian Aladdin.

    The Unic #9 didn't want to play at first because the jet was blocked and the cleaning needle broken but after a bit of fettling -

    Thanks Pete, it would be better if the garden was a bit bigger though.
