What happened, took you 12 months to find this thread. Point of interest in OZ the two gallon can is also known as a flimsie, amongst my crowd anyway. Will become a point of discussion with my network of contacts.

Bob,

Everywhere there is a confusion between 2 gallon cans and flimsies - see the discussions on the CMP mailing list, for example.

So when I finally found a picture of flimsies in a crate (first one I've seen), I thought that was good discussion item to revive this thread with.

Hey, maybe Lang Kidby can pick some up with his 1940 Dodge Staff Car during his trip from Tripoli to Tobruk?
