I took your advice Tony and I've managed to craft a quite serviceable main tent pole from a thick oak banister I recovered from a surplus construction store. It works great! I've included a picture of my tent, it looks very similar to the one in your pic. Back to the "fly" issue again: it's too small to go over the tent...one edge of it is curved at about the same radius as the exterior of the tent which with the fact it has two peaks for what appear to be small tent poles of some sort lead me to believe it's to be installed over the door perhaps. I've done a fair bit of research online but have yet to see a picture with this "fly". In any event, I'll keep plugging away at it and I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.
It looks like quite a set up you've got in your pic, is that a 3.7" AA gun? There's an air raid siren similar to yours on ebay right now, but with a "buy it now" price of $900.00, it's probably reserved too high for me right now. That plus I'm saving up for a CMP purchase eventually. By the way, where was your picture taken?
Thanks to all for your input!
