Hi Tim,
I know it's quite a few years ago that you posted a question about the Blacks Streamline tent, so just in case you're still looking I've posted some photos on this site (you can only upload 3 photos, I think).
I got mine in 1981 or 1982 and the retail price was £80 ( I paid £50 as my Uncle knew the owner!) It's a 2 man tent, weighs approx 7.5 pounds, packs up to a size of 20" x 10" x 6". You put up the outer first, it has 2 front poles, held apart by a horizontal pole and has 1 smaller height pole at the back. Then you peg down the inner inside the tent and it hooks onto the poles front and rear to suspend it ( has side hooks too, which correspond to guy line points on the outer of the tent). This keeps a space between the inner and outer tents. The groundsheet is sewn in. The tent has a 2 zippered entrance at the front and you can tie back either of the sides if you want to cook but don't want the wind blowing in (there are toggles to tie these). Inside, the orange doors have 2 horizontal zips and 1 vertical, with coarse mesh at the top. These can be tied back with toggles. Behind these, there are fine mesh doors, with the same zip arrangement, also able to be tied back. And at the back of the inner tent, there is a zip to open the rear (small triangular end) up.
Like you, I put a Google search in, but nothing came up about this tent, no images either - it's only 30 or so years ago that it was new, so I was surprised the internet had nothing about it.
Hope this helps
Regards
Tim

Hi, if you add the search for the tent in the Tent Showcase at you can upload as many photos as you wish ( and leave a review if you want too )
Here you go http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/tents/p/Black-Streamline/3575

The last image in Webmaster's link above lists the front and rear heights (apparently of the inner tent?) which might be a help, and I guess the horizontal pole length could be measured from the flysheet.
