Rick,
Thanks for the information. And Rob, The old Derk would have gone out to find an aircraft and bring it home to go with the wrench but I am cured now. My focus on life right now is to rebuild a new kitchen for the wife! Derk

The markings on the multi-tool suggest it is for use on equipment that uses BA fasteners. What equipment used by the RCAF used BA fasteners?
I know the C5 charging switchboard used with WS19 used that system so it might be fair to assume other pieces of radio kit designed in the UK might use those fasteners. At risk of sidetracking the thread, is there a list of known Canadian systems that used the BA fastener system?

Grant.
With the huge inventory of British designed aircraft in Canada's wartime RCAF, there were probably a large number of parts using BA style fasteners. Not necessarily exclusive to wireless equipment. And in a worst case scenario, Derk can always assemble the new kitchen with BA hardware.  David

You can BS the rest of the MLU Forum, but don't bother trying to BS me!! I know you too well and for too long. How many police lightbars have you acquired now, in order to try and fulfill just one of your many latest obsessions? And where did you have to mount the last one because the garage wall was already full to the top with them?? Don't lie to everyone, I have photos.

Ok!
I see where this is going so I might as well show everybody the photo and see if I am the only one that thinks the headboard of the bed is fine where it is?

Nice! ...and hence the need for a new shop (more wall space). After the new kitchen, of course.

Hmmmmmmm
Looking at those photo's,maybe I do have a slight obsession on collecting a few items and Wayne called it right, that's why I need a shop.
Rob, I'm glad you don't have a picture of all the vehicles in the yard! The wife is a patient woman though. I even talked her into working on a lightbar at one time! I'm a lucky man so shouldn't push my luck with a lightbar in the new kitchen! Derk

While this hijack is fresh regarding the placement of one certain light bar, illuminating those lights usually meant for someone to "pull over" not "pull......"
 You get the picture

Another good day at the flea market
First visit this year to a favorite flea market in the country coming back from camping this weekend paid off in coming across the rare STEVENS FIRST AID tin that were in the CMP trucks. It was the first item I spotted when I walked into the place. Very happy to find one finally as I have had the canvas pouch for it and now have the tin! I of course found other items of interest for my collection there but the tin was the highlight of the day! Another good find was a Corbin padlock with key for $2.00 and an interesting bike patch kit tin. Not sure of the era the tin is from but interesting.
Regards,Derk

Oh yeah;
I also added 3 more lightbars to the collection from the last trip out to our favorite military surplus store a few weeks back. The wife was very happy to see more show up!

Derk.
In the late 1950's, my parents bought me a three speed bicycle from Eatons. The 'house brand name' of the T. Eaton Company line of bicycles was 'Glider' and they were made by Raleigh Cycle of England. Fitted to the back of the saddle by two small leather straps was a tan leather tool kit containing a set of spanners and a patch kit tin bearing that general shape and name. Not sure the colour scheme was the same but I recognize the two instruction blocks on either side of the lid. So those tins were definitely around in the 1950's and probably go back some time before then. Thanks for the memories! David

Another good day yesterday........
at the antique flea market at Assiniboia downs. First find was an average 37 Pattern Canteen & carrier,not a big deal but was $15.00 so offered $10.00 and got it. The second find was way more exciting, on a shelf was sitting an original Mk 1 universal carrier Bren Magazine loading tool stowage box! I had to make one from scratch when I did my carrier so was very happy to find an original one. It was a little expensive at $30.00 so I held my poker face and offered $25.00 (yes i'm cheap!) and he accepted so a great day! Now I have to wait for the weather to start warming up here so I can get it painted and mounted onto the carrier.
Regards,Derk

Very nice find....but wait; that is a military item and you are cured of the need for those. Send it to me and I will happily re-imburse you in the name of not tempting you back into the addiction.
You lucky bugger....

Nice find. Today was a gun show and then three antique stores in the afternoon and all I had to show for it was $5 less and some gas.
