Yep, so am I - it'll be good to see you again, Matt! :thumbup: Bring some cash this year, eh? ;) :)
Cheers, Pete! Well, it's horses for courses, naturally - I didn't exactly have a choice of designs. The fabric rests on a wire frame to keep it...
Cheers, Pete. The handkerchief shade is on page 64 in the Tilley book. I got it NOS from Neil - he got a few from someone in the Historic...
Someone here refers to them as "sewer pipes" [-X ](*,) No names, no pack drill... :lol: Anyway, these were mine:- [ATTACH] They're in someone...
Bugger! - I could have brought my four to you and we'd have had the set! :lol::D/ I had a plan to get a pink one from someone here but he wasn't...

Thanks Jeff - that's great stuff. [ATTACH] It seems reasonable to suppose that these were the lamps in question - both from their general...
...and just a general word of warning. Don't be tempted to use a screwdriver in the slot at the bottom. If it's at all tight, all you'll do is...
I was clearing out a file of screenshots I'd taken over the years and came across this:- [ATTACH] Sadly lacking in detail of the lamps...
You did - it's a case of dependent and independent variables. In this case, and all other things being equal, the fuel consumption depends on the...
Bliddy? :lol:
Well, I can see the logic there. All I'll say is that I have many chrome / nickel / speculum-plated lanterns and I've not noticed any useful...
Oh, a tiny error hardly worth the mention... ;) :lol:
Not sold in British Antarctica, obviously, but I think it's reasonable to assume that some would have ended up there to provide heat and light in...
I've no figures but I'd have thought there wasn't much difference between the volatility of ethanol and gasoline. Certainly both are more...
