Yes I thought you were going to have another stab at it after you posted "Native troops in India?" then I thought you were going to try the opposite with "British troops not in India" & win this one :-D

Just to round things off then. This flag was used in places other than India i.e. it is the complimentary flag to MO 159.

Yes! Well done, the lot! British troops! The final question is in what parts of the world would this have been? The clues are not just in this thread but MO 159

Nope not for them Bernard

Um nope on both counts

Matt specifically which page are you missing? I may have it (I assume you have the Servicing Schedule I did scan it & send it out to quite a few owners).

Not specifically reserved for them Bernard. That was in Burma I think so these signs could have been there but some ancillary staff could not use such facilities. So we have: Flag for a latrine built by the British Army Not specifically for officers Not likely to be for women Not for the public Not specifically a special urinal Not for horses Not specifically for concert parties but they could use it but not certain ancillary staff MO 159 gives a clue

Stables I can understand, but it is the casual way that it is done just when even walking along, as my driveway will testify to.

Followers of this thread should be able to work out the answer to MO 161 :-D

But they just seem to do it whenever & wherever they like judging by the mess round here. (I digress but I wonder if anyone has successfully toilet trained a horse? They seem altogether rather casual about the whole process)

Ok in summary of what has been deduced so far. We have: Flag for a latrine built by the British Army Not specifically for officers Not likely to be for women Not for the public Not specifically a special urinal So someone has been left out. :-D

Richard the flag is not an indication specific apparatus within.

Not for the public Roy

Nope not just anyone..

Nope Richard simpler than that

Nope Richard I don't the arrangements in those days would include facilities for women. It is quite a simple answer really.

Yes Richard it is indeed. But for whom to use? PS Just re-read that. This is an operational latrine, dug & ready for use. The site of a former latrine would have certain markings left. But this is not it.

Tony this is not a picture of a lavatory seat if that is what you mean. But you are very warm.

You're going off beam there Tony.

Getting warm Tony :-D

:rofl::rofl: Very good Lauren, most in keeping with recent themes. Of course you could be quite right. Although I think the post-its would probably been wrapped up in a box with a white disc.

Yes it can do Tony

Pete I have no experience of 6v LEDs. But I did for a short while play around with 12v ones. Two problems to my mind. Yes very bright immediately behind (or at the front) of vehicle. But poor coverage obliquely or at the side, much poorer than a filament bulb. Some replacement units have a few sidewards facing LEDs but even these have a limited arc of coverage. If your using them for turn indicators bear in mind the flasher is likely to be a thermally switched. To operate it needs the load of the filament to draw a current to make it flash. The slight current drawn by the LEDs is insufficient for the flasher to work unless you change to a solid state flasher. The other alternative is to wire a high wattage resistor across each LED turn light to draw significant current to make the flasher work. On other forums an issue has been raised that in the event of an accident having non original lighting may not be compatible with insurance cover. Whether that is a real issue I don't know as my LED conversion did not progress as I felt the light visibility obliquely was reduced & hassle with changing the flashing system.

Yes indeed Rick I wouldn't want to play with that one.

Not quite Roy
