Steve – you are so right – sometime it just does not matter that something does not follow your main interest – if it looks interesting that is the reason to buy it.

I acquired one of these beasts from a Hollowell auction several years ago – when warmed up and at full bore it delivers an impressive flame + sound effect too! ( while warming up it makes an impressive flame thrower !!!) It also had a sizeable thirst getting through a tank full in about 30 minutes.

I have not used Base Camp myself yet despite recommending folk go there but feedback I have had from some folk is pretty good.

A very old style ironmongers just round the corner still stock a good range of cup washers – bit pricey but it keeps the business local.

Oddly enough I acquired one of these from somewhere long before I started collecting sprayers – now had the internet been as good then as it is now my main interest may not be sprayers? hmm..

No – I shall not go down that route –

Aah. Yes the funnel – well until I saw the funnel in one of your earlier pictures attached to one of your posts I hadn’t realised it should have one!

That said it looks like you have it located in pretty much the correct place – there isn’t the room anywhere else in the chest for it to be located.

I guess the funnel got parted from my set some time in the past!! – from the photo it looks like a useful item of kit so I can perhaps understand why it disappeared from my set.

That case looks seriously good – think you are being a bit modest about your carpentry skills – am looking forward to seeing it painted in due course.

Hello Everyone,

A bit late joining the new forum, now winter is closing in I have a bit more time & a new PC helps, the old one suddenly developed a falling over problem ( not too much pop either!!)

What I have seen so far is looking good.

Just need to come up with a suitable Avatar, hmm …

Cheers

Hi Steve,

Finally managed to work out how to sign up to the new site.

Question re your Military FO Sprayer – on mine the plate gives a date of manufacture, from memory mine was made sometime in 1960 – just wondered when yours was made?

I also think I have got some photo’s of the inside of the crate somewhere ( just had a new PC and still sorting things out – all pics and other useful bits are on an external drive at present), when I re-locate them I post some of them on here, for general view & so you can use a reference if you’d like.

Cheers
