Not allowed to say where or what the production is, but after today's other things it should be good (if not entirely nitpick-free) when it's broadcast. ;)

Sorry about the autofocus deciding the weeds were more interesting than the background, didn't notice it until I got home tonight.

TTFN,
PB

Apologies if this has been covered before (I did search).

What is a Gas Patch for, I've seen them on Lancs ?

At a guess does it warn that the aircraft is carrying compressed gas cylinders ?

TIA

If it moves, shout at it....if it doesn't, paint it !

No, the patch is coated with a substance which changes colour in the presence of (usually) mustard gas thereby providing an indication of a hazard.

Used to have them on pillar(mail) boxes too.

If a pillar box is pre 1950 chances are that the gas patch is still on it, they just painted over at the end of the war.

C'est vrai! Most old pillar boxes have increased their original dimensions by successive coats of gloss Pillar Box Red paint and the patches can often be seen underneath.
