Very interesting, how they prioritised war materials. Great research; thanks.
Yes you should be pretty pleased as the lantern looks well cleaned and is burning beautifully. I personally like the look of the red Tilleys too.
It's interesting as many of us who often welcome new members, do so upon seeing that their post count is single digits or say below 5. So it's a...
Wow! :mrgreen::mrgreen: Very nice to see that line up. Interesting the odd tank too. The three darker handled irons are wonderful finds. @Marko57...
