I don't see that as a problem at all - surely they've earned their place on the shelf merely by managing to remain as they left the factory all...
Very nice! - what's the non-Tilley lantern?
Impeccable work and reportage as we've come to expect from you, John. :thumbup: :D Have I missed the bit where you replaced the main plunger to...
:-k Much as I'd like to be with you all, it's a bit far for me... :(
Yes, you need to know what you're looking for - exactly as I explained above. You just can't beat a BNIB, NOS vapouriser, especially for £12. Note...
Well, it crash-tested itself really. The post it was on started to fall over but was stopped when it lodged against the A-frame cover of the...

Er, anywhere?
[-X Try to be more empathetic MF - apparently they've been overwhelmed by orders from the Heard and McDonald Islands trying to beat the latest...
Well there's a surprise! :doh: :whistle: With the X246B especially, I've found that after a settling in period, sometimes the vapouriser, burner...
Philistine... [-X
Except my brain burped and I meant a Vapalux donut, Jean :doh: :oops: - somehow I don't think one of those will be gracing Tilley Towers any time...
I swear to God, I've stopped buying lamps, lanterns and heaters!! :^o Still, a Vapalux handlamp or one of those Colemans with the hemispherical...
Exactly the same as the one I had, Matt, and great to see the other photographs you took - thanks... :clap: :thumbup:
