Well things down there have improved a lot so I'm fully active again now. I went off to Worcester the other night to pick up a new family tent and...
Hmmm, you may be right. The right hand one is a model patient, but the left hand one is doing its best John Merrick impression. Walking is being...
Thank you for all your replies. The lamp gives off a good light when lit, but did pulse a little. However I had filled it with the remnants of a...
Following my recent purchase of my first pressure lantern (a Bialladin) one of my motorcycle club members bought me the light I really wanted, a...
LOL. Yep, the standard one certainly is loud... at a recent rally I sat next to the stove nodding away at some bore trying to talk to me. I didn't...
Famous last words :roll: It's a bit of a mystery what people are prepared to pay on Ebay. As Doc mentioned in a post elsewhere, the same stove...
Funnily enough some friends were talking about their Coleman 'Feathers' yesterday and we agreed that the control should be marked 'Sun' and...

After seeing those pics I thought I'd dig my tatty 71 out of the back of the cupboard and spark it up. Hmmm... as much as I hate to say it, it...
Funny isn't it that I came into stove collecting because I really like lightweight backpack stoves, yet I have to say that my two best burners are...
Sorry, the pot stand was off for the test firing and to my shame I did indeed light a stove without boiling a kettle... and yes, I'm prepared for...
JC - I've missed you! Yep, I've been so tied up in crap and business I haven't had a suitable time to belt down to Solva. I was planning a trip in...

A friend, who cannot be named because he may have access to HM forces gear on a regular basis, gave me this stove, I believe it's a No2:...
Cheers for the advice, I'll plug on with some of your suggestions and see how it performs. GC
I emptied out the tank and topped it up (three quarters full) with fresh paraffin. It was reluctant to light but eventually caught with a whoosh...
