As it was such a lovely warm evening and in honour of National Bialaddin / Vapalux Day I thought I'd light up a few of mine. Oh and the new Petromax. It is National Bialaddin / Vapalux Day isn't it
Having lit a different lamp each day of advent there was only one thing left to do on Christmas day. Ian
Hi Albert If you mean the one I think that you mean (the one not alight) it is #26 and is electric. All Does anybody wish to have a go at identifying all 25? The winner is to receive national acclaim and longlasting glory (no cash alternative). If it comes to tiebreaker then it is a matter of the lamp in the kitchen in the rear of the shot. Or I could just tell you if anyone is bothered. Ian
You guys didn't have any planes fly real low over your houses did you? Ian I didn't realize you were such a lampie. Dan

Well Ian, I can see only 23 so I'm hampered already However, from the top and left to right... On wall - WL26 On walkway - X246A, X246 Guardsman, BR49, 21C, some Coleman or other? Hanging - Hospital/Survey lamp, Bialaddin 300X, early PL53, EX100, Bialaddin 310 Bench Left Rear - CH1?, early TL136, Bialaddin T10 Seat Right Rear - Pass, Pass, Pass, early TL106, later TL106 Below Left Bench - AL8, TL106 Patio - AL21 Kitchen - Pass If I've got less than half right it's because I was blinded by the light
Henry Do you really think I have time to paint the climbing frame when I spend most of the day visiting my kids in hospital sufferring from mysterious, recuuring outbreaks of lockjaw? David Very good, you win. It was pretty difficult because I now remember a couple were indoors at the time! You are pretty close in the circumstances: In some sort of order: Tilley SL61 (pretending to be an WL26) Tilley X246A Tilley X246 Tilley BR49 Bialaddin 305 Coleman 249E Tilley SL Hospital lamp Bialaddin 300X Tilley PL53 Tilley PL52 Tilley TL136 Bialaddin 310 Tilley FL6 Bialaddin T10 Tilley AL8 Welsbach 3008 Tilley AL21 Tilley FL5 Kildark ? Tilley TL14 Tilley TL116 Tilley TL106 (second) and, out of sight, Tilley KL80 Tilley TL11 Tilley IL 33 in the kitchen one of my SDR's. I'll bring both versions (not boasting, of course) along next weekend. Ian
Er, wasn't I the only entrant... I should have remembered you had a Welsbach and that Dr. Kildare thing and put them in my list anyway... ...and of course you weren't boasting about your SDR's. So I'll be bringing my mint Bialaddin T20 and Veritas Nova Now, gotta get out and BUY A TENT!!
David Yes, of course you were the only entrant - do you think you would have won otherwise? Wrong about the Kildark (please note spelling); I have three now including a bracket lamp. Now you can keep the Veritas Noburn but I would really like a T20. I've got an old tent somewhere - how about a swap to save you GBP's? Ian
Ah, just too late, Ian - I've now got a new one. Otherwise, of course I'd have swopped my T20 for your old tent... I think I'll be slightly over-housed this weekend - I spent a good bit more than I'd intended Might need to lay off the buying side for a few weeks and fettle a few more instead...
Ian I think I will have to take a shot of my lamps and lanterns. We will see how close you go at ID ing my few I have. I know I have to think about some before I can remember what they are. Especialy the 4 that Neil can't identerfy. They are a problem. I have a Solex 300 cp coming in the next week. This one will go well with my 100 and 200 Solex's.
