Elsan toilet wanted!

We are looking at putting an Elsan toilet back in Avro Lancaster NX611 ‘Just Jane’. Only issue is we dont have one! Does anyone have one for sale? or know where we can get one from?

No luck in our stores today. The one I saw last must have been the one we traded for turret parts.

We’ll keep looking.

I did hear a rumour that there might be some Elsan components available, but I haven’t got much to go on.

Boom tisch!

Not exactly in the list of Desirable things to pinch is it… Ohh look a chemical sh*tter, I have got to steal that… 😀 I bet it is where you left it :p

You never know! It might have grown some legs and wandered off…

We need the ring too, its something we are looking at having made up. The Elsans in the ‘bunker’ photo are sadly not correct for the Lanc.

Bruce: Are your seats wood or Bakelite?

richw_82: That would be great thank you!

Bakelite – prob post war!

I’ll have a look in the store tomorrow, and see if its still there. When we last looked a few months back we had a few of them kicking about.

Wasn’t the chemical Elsanol and also those Elsans in the pile, Andrew you would need the attachment ringon the base to install in securely in the lanc unless 611 still has the ring fitted?

Hi Andrew,

I’ll have a look in the store tomorrow, and see if its still there. When we last looked a few months back we had a few of them kicking about.

Our Shackleton’s doing okay, hopefully we’ll have her fit to get some exercise before long. I found your facebook page last night, and the pictures on there are inspiring.

Kind regards,

Rich

I would imagine it would be the same, if you do have one can you send some photos please? Hope your project is going well.

We might have one kicking around from a Shackleton if that’s any use?

Used to be a small black one, complete but needing a little TLC sat in the middle of the woods at RAF Chedworth. Dunno if it’s still there though. 😀

You would have to find who owns the site and get permission but are these not the same?

They are still on the go…

Have you tried dropping them a line and seeing if they can help?

Thanks very much, we’ll check to see if it is the same!
