Flying10uk I am pleased you find Toms 'redbacks' a usefull reference as many others have over the years.

Not usually a problem getting a MK2 gas cylinder out as they are not threaded :-)

I think credit should be given to Tom Ready (Bear) who put all the depicted 'red back' display pictures shown.
