Tilley FL6

That’s the first (1937) variation of the FL6, with the small bore pump. It also has the brass ID plaque. The pump has some differences with mine:

I’m curious as to why it came with the mounting bracket upside down.

Hi Tony, I left the cradle as is, I just liked the extra height, a bit weird looking but then so am I

 

A really good example and would make a excellent campsite light.

 

I took one camping in the Scottish highlands last year! And was told to turn it of because it lit up one side of the campsite
So I had a spare R1 burner, swapped it over and the heat off it was awesome

 

Those big reflector kero heaters can throw out an amazing amount of heat. Have to be careful and not set fire to something.

 

I have set a few lamps on fire on YouTube but not an FL6

 

Now that’s a neat trick that I have to try!

 

That looks so cool !

Very novel.
