  1. I have to wonder how many portaloo's we're going to see at war and peace flying the mighty flag of latrine availability.
  2. A second thought - is it a "affirmative" flag as an opposite to the old negative signal?
  3. Stationary stores marking on a packet of post-it notes ?
  4. Ah, in that case it must be emergency tipp-ex supplies for the clerks typing pool.
  5. 1 Section distinguishing mark on an armoured vehicle.
  6. Nice to see you Good luck with getting your Gaz!
  7. Is it measuring brake distance - activated by the hose to the tow hitch when the hitch comes under additional pressure?
  8. Nice one! - where did you get the t-shirt?
  9. at least the donkey engine worked.
  10. There's no need for name calling, just because Merlin got there before the rest of us
  11. earthing/grounding? Possibly from a helicopter or balloon that can build up static?
  12. Is it a training weight for recovery from the sea bed?
  13. Sky hooks to hold things up (always out of stock). Long stands for stability, often with a Long weight to counterbalance. Took ages to find them at the stores. Left handed screwdrivers. Then there's all the fun of units of measure. Order 3 bags of 100 cable ties. Get 3 cable ties.... Order 30 screws, get 30 boxes of 1000. Recording Measurements - Speed in atto-parsecs per micro-fortnight (about an inch per second if I remember right - a parsec is 3.26 light years and atto is the multiplier for divided by 10 to the power of 18). Distance in Light nanoseconds (approximately the length of a 30cm/12in ruler). Beauty in MilliHelens (the precise amount of beauty to launch 1 ship)
  14. It looks like a torpedo on top of Mickey Mouse (poor Mickey). Is it a weight for pulling down a line? The ears could be stabilising behind aircraft or underwater.
  15. This might help - http://www.iwm.org.uk/upload/pdf/famhist-army2010-04.pdf‎ There's an email address listed of "collections@iwm.org.uk" that you could try and see what they say.
  16. "ORDNANCE" and "STORES"? oh well, it was worth a try.....
  17. Stack 2 high, drop on this corner to open?
  18. It's like an early unimog, but not quite.
  19. Not fitted yet, but the belts I just picked up are 55" double badged as 18-8620-A and 51-8620-S A quick google shows B51 as 54" - where did you find the reference to B51?
