Thank you Jim
And the water tasted awful out of those plastic jerry cans too!!
The right angled torch is a proper winner.
Don't know how you do it!! Pure brilliance.
Your right it did have a particular taste but it was always cold. Glad you like the torch I still have one with all the filters in my garage.
Ditto, strange what you hang onto!! Gimpy cleaning kit - personal survival kit with edible candles!!! (Disgusting)
Oh, edited to add the filter for my torch was a red chinagraph!!! Filters were for posh torch owners!!
Ii didn't really keep that much and what I did has long gone with the exception of the torch. But the most useful thing I still have on my key ring is my compo tin opener.
Gimpy cleaner has proved useful for bunging up small orifices and cleaning them out!! Number of times the combo can opener has saved the day - best thing invented. Kept much of my navigation equipment, nav computer, (circular slide rule), specialist rulers, a big square round thing for sea navigation. Other than that - it all went!!! Oh I lie - my scalpels - which I have now put back into use!!
Those water 'cans came in black and mid-green mate - so mix 'n' match . I have several 1/35 buckshee if you want them - not taking the p but your' cans are good! The photo's are relevant to the sixties however!

Used red nail varnish (available from any convenient RAF base) when the filters had been lost from the bottom screw section of the torch (Anybody remember mini-flares (a little mod makes the launcher a great poaching tool )) - in all my time I never saw the green filter used though! I still have my 'O Group' book somewhere - as you say, strange what we keep! [Wives, overdrafts, worn out shreddies etc spring to mind ]
Steve
That had me going!! :smiling2: :smiling2: and yeah, never saw a green filter! Always red. NEVER clear!!!!! Had a watch keeper wake me up one morning for an early launch, shone the clear torch in my face. He nursed a black eye for weeks!!!! Took ages to get my night vision!!!! The Pratt!!!!
Top-drawer scratchy Bro!!! Looking real good with a coat on her and glad the pink is finally gone...Water always tasted like crap out of those plastic jerrycans back then. We used to paint ours green as they were molded in tan plastic...
Prost and Alles Gutem zum Gerburtstag!!!
