The British Military No.7 utilises an Optimus 80 tank with a SVEA 123R burner. Therefore, if required, an Optimus mini-pump and pump cap can be used with this stove. Housing the No.7 is a steel case which is incredibly robust incorporating ventilation louvres at the rear. Due to the ‘step’ which is formed when the case front is open, removing and reinserting the stove into the case can be made much easier by first rotating the stove, so that the fuel cap faces forward. The date stamp is located along the front edge the case lid. The ‘Melco’ control key/wrench came with this No.7 Pharael.
@mickeytee - Thank you. Yes they are a very good stove. I have a second No.7 which I use and that boils a kettle in next to no time. Pharael.
