fv1609 Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 Well done for being first man in. Who used it? Officers Probably not What was it for? Sitting on Nope It looks like a padded or upholstered chair, upside down Not a chair & that's rather hurtful thinking I would sneaky enough to turn an image upside down to throw you off the trail. Actually it is the right way up. the part number, when you return VOAS Section K to the Library, I will look it up Richard Ah well you got me there, I don't actually know the part number, just wondered if anyone did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abn deuce Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 can you give us a hint as to its size? could this be clue to its use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Judging by the rust pattern and box section uprights, I'd say 26"deep x 36"wide, sort of body depth and width. Oh, and I have not got a clue as to its purpose in life, but that's a solid top all right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
