  1. Lol. I can't help think there may be a missing comma in there
  2. Durite do a Chlorinated Rubber Paint that protects against acid spills - you might be able to paint the padding with that to seal them up.
  3. The whole base reminds me of the Hoth scenes in The Empire Strikes Back. I wonder if this was their inspiration.
  4. Does anyone know what's happening to the museum at Ashchurch? http://www.vehspec.co.uk/default.htm I've been past but never gone in.
  5. Having been educated (thanks chaps, I think) I found it on the internet (my eyes!). There is an interesting and educational passage in "A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English" By Eric Partridge.
  6. Interesting stuff. I wonder if the beams would have shown up under night vision gear?
  7. lol excellent? Now I'm confused - which bit did I get right
  8. Aha, or bouncing the IR light off the underside of a balloon? Reciever on the ground. Kind of like satcomms
  9. I was wondering if line of sight was achieved using underground pipe/tunnel. You mentioned "buried" and asked for more information when I mentioned mine marking, so I thought that had the makings of a Crafty Clive Clue™
  10. Ah, good point - I'd assumed this was the receiver and there would be heat/IR from another source to pick up. If this is a sender, could the receiver be as simple as a chap with IR goggles?
  11. Balloon/aerostat with signal lamp?- I'm guessing it must have to be high up to get direct line of sight to the IR receiver.
  12. oooo. How about hot-air signals like smoke signals, or maybe bouncing the IR light from the cloud layer? Or maybe microwave into the water droplets in the air (a poor mans troposcatter?)
  13. Are you buying one? I'm not sure I'd drive a "new" vehicle that far without building up a bit of experience with it and learning the quirks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2
  14. You could mark out areas with either covert burners or ir lamps hat wouldn't be seen to the naked eye. This could find you the safe path or maybe hidden supplies? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2
  15. I picked up a 12x12 but hadn't appreciated quite how big and unwieldy it was. The side tent looked like a quick and easy option for a weekend show. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2
  16. Looking for body heat? Or maybe IR path/mine markers? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2
  17. Veterinary? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2
  18. Ok fair enough, I didn't know and I figured it wasn't information she'd want up on here. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2
  19. It seems pretty close to personal information, that's all. I'm sure anyone close would have noticed, and it doesn't seem relevant to the story. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2
  20. Thanks Bob! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2
  21. Not sure what that's got to do it with it Lee? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2
  22. It has a sort of medical look to it. Is it a heat therapy pad or maybe something dental? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2
