My wife's grandparents and uncle on the Motor cycle combination they used for camping near Birmingham. Unfortunately no tent pictures. Taken about 1930.

Hi Trevlunar, the onesie in the picture was so im told worn by Tank drivers in the second world war and was bought from the Army and Navy store. note the little opening at the frond for when you wanted a wee.
Ronni, yes it was a standard 10 and i remember it was cold and drafty sitting in the back, i think the draft came from an area under the back seat where the wooden section of the floor had started to rot away

Ratty, is the small brown nylon tent with a yellow doors on page 1 a Raclet, I had a Raclet Grillon in the 70's? Mine was smaller than that one but looked similar.
Slept 2 of us in it for a week in Dartmoor in the hot summer of 1976. One night in the hills with very little water we lay awake staring at the half empty 4 pint bottle thinking the other was asleep. Finally we spoke to each other and had a drink.

Enjoy the liveliness of the syntax.
