[QUOTE=Robin Craig;212607]So, in a moment of silliness I wondered today what is the oddest piece of kit we have or could save and own. Something that isn't your usual camo pattern SMP item etc.QUOTE]

Robin, a great thread to which I have to add my moment of madness.

How about a LINK TRAINER for a Grumman Tracker Anti-Submarine carrier born plane.

This unit consists of two, yes two, 40 feet long aluminum clad trailers. One trailer is the plane and training studio and the other the computer to drive it. Today you could drive it on your laptop.

Here is a drawing layout.
