Tilley FL6 - kit, Danish CF 1952

Just got 3 of these boxes today from a friend. It looks complete and is dated from the letter by CivilForsvaret to 1952. This is the standard kit that followed the FL6 in the field for repair and maintenance.

Is the CivilForsvaret the Danish version of a civil defence organisation? It seems they were well equipped!

 

Hi BD
The CivilDefence is the same as CivilForsvaret and they have allways been weel-provided and is often used still when nature hits with water, snow and other sorts of disasters included those under war, firestorms etc.
They had a lot of different lamps and among these the Tilley FL6, where the danish CF also had there own made tripod, wich allows you to shoot the lamp up in app. 3 meters. Nice device and solid + foldable.

Great find!

 

Here is the tripod the CivilForsvaret used specially for the Tilley FL6.







And at last - just for CPL



Its quite wind-safe despite the height
