Early Tiger 1 convoy light

Post by John Glover »

Does any one know the source of a working convoy light for a early Tiger 1.I am referring to the rectangle box type not the later round tube type. Many sellers have the round tube available. Regards John.

I thought I got mine from rc tank de. but they don’t show one now. It’s driving me nuts trying to remember exactly where I bought mine. I think I have a spare at home minus the led light but I’m on vacation Yellowstone park Wyoming right now. I’ll be home by Saturday to see if I have a spare to send to you.

Will do.
Our flight from Jackson Hole was delayed so long that we missed our connecting flight from Dallas to St Louis. We had to stay overnight at a Dallas hotel without our luggage and now we’re waiting to board another flight to St. Louis. :crazy: AND it’s now the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks! 8O

You gotta be kidding me!! Now they can’t get the boarding tunnel disconnected from the plane’s door and they’ve called airport maintenance. Not feeling so great.

I need a few. Just landed in St. Louis and our baggage is still in Dallas! They said they’ll deliver our luggage to our house probably tomorrow.
Sorry for high jacking this thread but at least our plane wasn’t. :wtf:

Yup, that's why I quit flying! So many stories I could tell! I like flying and getting to one's destination quickly, but I hate being treated like cattle! Sorry to hear about that! FUBAR and BOHICA! :wtf: :-< Some whiskey and a smoke will make things better! :D

Cheers if at all possible,
Eric.

Yup! All’s good now. Our luggage was delivered to our porch at 2:44 a.m. and I bought bought a jug of Kessler’s. Life is good again. Now I’ll go outside and drive Miss Leningrad around for a while.
