    This could get ridiculous, I have looked out my stack of half-pinters (I've been collecting as many variants as possible), It looks as if I have a helluva lot of photographs to take :lol:

    I think Ross conjured this up as a SRG filling exercise....

    To be quite honest @Rangie, I'm as guilty.

    But as an effort to capture what the membership actually have is not to be sniffed at.

    Although I suspect sweet bride is unlikely to see @Doc Mark for a few months while he tries to find suitable stoves for the competition. :D

    @Tony Press, I don't think he's posted since the competition was announced. The hobbit hole is the only place he can be. :D

    He may never get out...

    I wonder whether SB has a tracking device on him?

    So long as SB has his credit card he'll be back eventually. If.we don't hear from him in a couple.of weeks we'll have to start missing member posts.

    @Simes I picture a mound of brass with a pair of @Doc Mark shaped legs sticking out from under....

    I imagine Doc ties a rope around his waist before venturing down there.

    At Boeing, when we went into a confined space, we had a radio that would beep at a set time interval. We had to press the button, as a response, to indicate we were ok. I imagine Doc carries one into the Hobbit Hole. That and a vintage kerosene lantern.

    Now that is a mental image I thought @TrainManny would have field day with.

    No not a lantern Ken, Doc dressed in mining gear, with helmet and head torch, waving goodbye to SB who is weeping into a hankie.

    I think it more likely SB will be outfitted in miner's gear and diving in as well, right along side Doc.

    All, 2 days left.

    Hello Lennart,
    You just posted Radius 20, it qualifies (with 10 entries so far),
    jus sayin'.
    [edit: Ah hah !!! you entered it (as I posted this) well done :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:]
    ------------
    Duane,
    You have P96 images posted that qualify. I have mentioned re your '43 P96 "... you get my vote" (if it posts). Yours is a good problem to have , not easy to pick which one do you want to present.

    That said, there's always trouble on the homefront, no need to enter.
    At the mo, I've nothing out that qualifies and a workbench clusterf__k for foreseeable future :oops:. thx omc

    Gentleman, and Ladies,

    Sweet Bride and I are have a great laugh about the "back and forth" up above, and the suggestions as to where I might be hiding!!! In truth, we had two back to back jobs, one of which was in Florida, and so were no where near the Hobbit Hole until recently!! I had intended to entire my very first 1/2 pint stove, a Pocket Primus from 1920, but due to work, completely missed the deadline for this particular contest!! Such is life, eh?! But, I do very much appreciate all the fun and supposition that went on in my absence!! I'm still smiling about it all..... ! Take care, and God Bless!

    Every Good Wish,
    Doc (who has his GPS tracking device on him, every single time he ventures down into the HH!!!)

    Just catching up on all last years 'unreads' @monkeyboy. :)

    Although I'll put my up hands when Cheques (checks) were hand written to not getting the date right till at least February.
