It was called a "smoke table" and as we practiced using map and compass while observing the canvas field to give fire orders, a litte oil heater would puff smoke up through the hessian to show where the rounds had "landed". Nothing else moved, though.<br /><br />Nowadays it is all done on a computer, of course.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399255049115922694.post-7797886706678221612012-04-09T18:50:14.122+01:002012-04-09T18:50:14.122+01:00Both brilliant clips, Potty Time was a childhood f...Both brilliant clips, Potty Time was a childhood favourite :-)Sgt Steinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805201299484374889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399255049115922694.post-89509601454315878672012-04-09T15:43:32.635+01:002012-04-09T15:43:32.635+01:00Thanks for that training video.

The Pathe news clip is very interesting. I'm not sure being the chaps under the table would be much fun for long. It was probably a choice between that or Mess-Waitering duties (I'd have chosen the magnetic sticks and crouching down option too!).Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03440418250366404723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399255049115922694.post-20754256580674987692012-04-09T14:12:28.391+01:002012-04-09T14:12:28.391+01:00And as the only pilot to need a braille instrument...And as the only pilot to need a braille instrument panel!<br /><br />Its a great book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399255049115922694.post-91388165641216535032012-04-09T12:50:12.245+01:002012-04-09T12:50:12.245+01:00Thank you for that.

I like the connection to Michael Bentine, as I remember his @It's A Square World@ programme, with his superb models of 'invisible' characters, all done with string and bits of wood. His Autobiography, @The Long Banana Skin@ is well worth a read, especially for his wartime experiences (as the only Peruvian in the RAF).joppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06334867727613848852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399255049115922694.post-32900406605027984152012-04-09T12:23:59.551+01:002012-04-09T12:23:59.551+01:00I've watched the Pathe clip 3 times now - it&#...I've watched the Pathe clip 3 times now - it's very entertaining but I'm really not sure what is going on - the vehicles are moving on magnets(?) - what makes the big waves in the landscape, or is that just the wind?
