Thanks Lang, for the correction - I'd always known it as 'erg' as that was what my father always referred to he and his fellow RAAF engines & airframes fitters' as. He was an RAAF LAC during '44-45.
He's long gone, so I can't ask him to see if it was his mispronunciation or my bad hearing as the cause of the error (probably both!)
More importantly, what is that thing slung under the wing that the bloke on the roof of the ute seems to be filling?
Mike
