Might be British or Oz folded down as I've just noticed the little extended foot thinggy for pushing the bottom section into the ground with your boot that we had

Yes it's folded in two, has a little toggle and ferrule attachment in the middle. Found in Oz, I will do a few better pictures in the coming days.

Ours just plain looked different.

No need for more pics Mike. It's the UK/Oz GAP for the C2 sight on the OHF/sustained fire GPMG kit and the 81mm mortar.

Our GPMG SF stakes were different too. Short wire affair with an "h" shape to them. Black and white painted and of course the Tri-Lux lights...

Morning BAR. These 'H' stakes you refer to. I THINK, they are from modified Tripwire Flare Kits?.....We have very Similar for the GPMG L7 SF Kit's in Brit Mil
Service.

Morning Tankie... These came through our system and I can't say where the idea came from. They're 14" or 16" tall and I never saw them before. We didn't use a tripwire stake...just attached to natural, mostly. These were a slightly hardened steel "Wire" about 1/4" or 3/8" thick. Like I say, they had a pointed foot and were a lower case "h" in shape... They worked fine, for classroom of course, we used a wood dowel set in a flat wood base. We had a QMSI on staff from Warminster in our SAIC school. A W2 I think if I recall, and when he returned to Warminster the promotion would be permanent...something like that. We had some good and some bad of course...nature of the beast. He was to keep us on line with training, one gun, one book. EDI and all that...much of our practices came from his suggestions I think...

[Peter Laidler]

Would be nice to know who your SASC WO2 was. He's probably still known or remembered at the HQ. We had a few got to Sigleton. QMSI Lorenzelli was one as was the great Steve Harrod.

Hard for me to remember their names. I remember a bit about all of them but the names escape. If I could I'm sure some of you would remember some of them. One of them was Lee I think. He was employed in Germany during the SA replacement trials in '75/'76. He was Scottish I think. Short man...5'5" sort of thing, dwarfish or elfen... The two you mention aren't familiar...

[Peter Laidler]

That era was very probably Danny Lee. They used to get around and their names appear on loads of paperwork.
