Guest Papav66 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 this is the one at my area club, South Mids MVT near Evesham, for shows its fully kitted out with bunks, chamber pot, stove & kettle, lamp, blankets & a baby in its gas mask with pump! When children visit they are always amazed to see it for real and as to how small they were for a family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swill1952xs Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Funny thought...........just imagine what they would look like if we had to rely on them for our safety now. They would have to be about ten times the size they are now so the kids could have some "Privacy" Each one would have a wind powered generator on top of it, Each would have to have a shower and flushing toilet, a kitchen and central heating, a place for the kids PS3. Just imagine telling the "Yoof" of today that they had to spend the night in the conditions shown in the pictures. Screaming and kicking comes to mind. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screaming and kicking comes to mind. :-D And thats just the parents! One never knows what one will have to endure or suffer through , both sides in that conflict huddled in basements or whatever shelter could be found all praying that this time the bombs would land somewhere else. Hoping for an end to the nightmare being thankful when the all clear sounded then the grime task of searching through the rubble of what was a neighbours home seeing if they made it through or not .
