Do you mean like a toggle Des or something like a watch for direction. . Someone somewhere is either sitting there knowing what it is, or waiting to see if someone is willing to buy the correct answer. Cheers JS.

Could be a sky hook, to hang your Norwegian balls and fenders on. Or maybe an 80 knot gunsight for shooting tiger moths down. Or a personal device for a bomb aimer on the old Dakotas. Whoever gets the nearest answer gets 2 licks of the lollipop, 3 licks if hit the target. With or without the toilet light on. JWS.

#54... Been there John done that in Lulea and in Oxelosund. Had Xmas also in Oxelosund. With a German and a Swedish married couple., The Germans father was ex SS, probably living the life of Reilly in South America at the time. Am sure if he had any frozen balls he would have hung them on the Xmas tree he was drunk enough. One wonders sometimes on all the characters one meets in a lifetime how they fared throughout their life spans. You don't have to be a celebrity to have a past life, in fact those who do and write about think most of them are very humdrum. JWS
