    Now here is a weird one.

    I've long had an interest in pressure stoves and lamps, and for a while now I have been collecting old army petrol cookers.
    I usually buy them as spares repairs, then strip and rebuild them.
    I'd love to do the same with Optimus 8R and 111 cookers, but they never come up at the little money that I'd like to pay.

    It makes a change from all of the woodwork that I do, but still gives me a bit of a challenge.

    Next on my list of wants is old kettles.:o

    And this is my Christmas present. A modern issue diesel version.

        Looks great Eddie.

        You can't beat a good petrol stove.

        I use a Coleman dual fuel for camping and it's awsome.

          When training at R.A.F. Halton in the 60s, we were instructed how to use the Five pint braizing lamp. Now THAT was a monster. :dancy: Cheers, Tony.
