Unfortunately it’s not an aircraft Elsan toilet but a building type. Would be great for our Control tower restoration though if it’s available?

Can you imagine, 1943 coming off a dicey op and wandering down the aircraft, when one of the crew says ” you know one of these days there will be collectors for that sh*tter,” everyone on the crew momentarily forget the war and burst out laughing.

Reminds me of a story by Michael Bentine (how true I don’t know ?)

When he said they used to empty the contents of their elsan over Germany. They were told to stop this
practice as the Germans complained about the RAF employing chemical warfare.

Quite how they would have accomplished this is anyone’s guess, so no doubt just a “story”

Most definitely….

We let them have the bucket as it was surplus to requirements for us.

Didn’t Andrew Panton want one for NX611?
