Wobbly Head Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 "Warning unit produces toxic fumes do not use in garage or when cam nets are used" Warning on crew heater on British 430 AFV.
Briganza Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 "Warning unit produces toxic fumes do not use in garage or when cam nets are used" Warning on crew heater on British 430 AFV.A novel idea, a heater for a 43, we usually had ice on the inside, or opened the mortar hatches and put a poncho over the top to direct the hot engine air inside. But heater, never.
