Would it have to have been tested by the military to be available with a subsidy?

Found this post on Land Rover Series One Club forum (Reply #247):- No...this sort of extra reflector remains the one thing that makes the rear of any trailer distinctive. At the time the post war Brockhouse trailers were made they might have had a single or pair of T shaped ones ...an arrangement of small round red reflectors against a white background. On a vintage display trailer you might get away with this. But I suspect that traffic police would be looking for the modern pair of regulation triangles if someone ran into the back of you. I am sorry but I have to argue against that popular misconception. What you say is true only of trailers built on or after 1st July 1970. Road vehicle lighting regulations say that any trailer needs two rear retro reflectors. That I do not dispute. Reg 18 and Schedule 1 states all vehicle and trailers must have rear retro reflectors, without any exceptions. Schedule 18 of the 1989 act and Reg 3 EEC directive 76/757 require that any trailer (other than a broken down motor vehicle being towed) manufactured on or after 1.7.70 must have a pair rear retro reflectors that show certain approval marks. (The reflectors can only have the approval mark if they are triangles, the size and shape being part of their design that allows them to carry that mark, ie they will a triangle Length of side 150 to 200mm etc or they cannot gain that mark). Slightly different requirements apply to trailers manufactured between 1.7.70 and 1.10.89, to the requirements that apply to those manufactured after that date but that doesn't concern my trailer or an early Brockhouse. (Requirement relate to approval markings the retro reflectors must carry.) There is a requirement for a pre 1.1.70 to be fitted with rear retro reflective makers (schedule 1) but there is no requirement as to the shape, size or any markings they must carry (schedule 18 5. (b) (iii)) The Roset trailer I am towing is 1953 hence pre 1.7.70, so the only requirement is that it has two rear retro reflectors, which it has. They are round, which is acceptable since there is no requirement for them to be triangular or to have any markings or for them to be in any particular position on a trailer of this date. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1989/1796/contents/made http://www.lrsoc.com/forum/index.php?topic=11701.240

This explains why "4604 inked out and replaced with 1751271" UK stores reference numbers, 22C series Latest update 10 March 2010 This is a guide to RAF stores reference numbers applied sequentially to flying clothing officially issued to RAF aircrew up to 1965. All flying clothing has a 22C prefix. After 1965 the RAF adopted the American inspired NATO stock number (NSN) system in the following format 8475-99-130-0182 (stock number for a pair of Mk.6C anti-g trousers, size large). For national use the 22C systems is still applied using the last seven digits of the NSN. Thus the national stores reference for the large Mk.6C anti-g trousers is 22C/1300182.

Vaseline vs Petroleum Jelly Vaseline and petroleum jelly are often mistaken for being the same thing but what people do not know is that Vaseline and petroleum jelly still have distinct differences that many people are not aware of. Vaseline is widely known as a brand name of petroleum jelly and that is actually a fact. Although their differences may be not that noticeable, they do still exist.

I can see the logic of the extra 6 months now but how are the MOT centres going to cope with having what would have been April's testing now due in October and the vehicles that are due annually in October? Perhaps I have missed something, and for the next 12 months all MOTs will be extended.
