  1. It's rather big for that, although in WW2 they must have had exceedingly wide derrieres judging by the size of motorcycle seats. Ah but this is postwar.
  2. Actually I had thought of putting upside down, but then realised it's just as difficult the correct way up. ;-)
  3. Its still there linked to photobucket. Can you see the images on the other mystery objects?
  4. Nope (which might suprise you) then from that follows nope & nope.
  5. Probably not. Study the detail of the uniform.
  6. Yes well done that man, I knew I could rely on you Richard. Dated 1859, but some of the writing not too easy to read.
  7. All very plausible answers, but not there yet.
  8. Yes it looks that way. The audience, or at least some of them, seem to be getting orally envolved. But teeth, nope. Well you have to ask yourself, is it really a red-herring? Can you afford to assume it is? A few regulars seemed to fall for earlier r-h's. Anyway you're not meant to be peeping!
  9. And now for something completely different. What's going on here?
  10. Just about to do the next one & of course there are two that are still unanswered :-D 3 - 5 yds between picket line & heel pegs, 5 yds if possible between horses heads. Peg kickers are kept seperate!
  11. Tony I think you're virtually there, well done for persistence. No stabling though, the horses are just tied between the spaced wagons in 1911.
  12. Normal IRR paint is harmful to canvas. In the early days of IRR there was no special canvas paint, so the instruction was to paint the canvas only at the start of hostilities. Nowadays there is: "Paint, Finishing, IRR, Emulsion, Matt, NATO Green, Air Drying" it dries in about an hour and should cover the entire canvas. The black bits are in "Paint, Finishing, Polyvinyl Acetate, Emulsion, Black, Air Drying". Note this is not IRR. Other canvas paint also available in Light Stone, Red & White for ambulances markings.
  13. Yes, no & no. You're on the right lines, came from a Field Service Pocket Book, but a bit earlier than yours.
