A mystery solved

As regular folk know, there was recently a near calamity at Hobbit Towers - no, not when the stilts were found to be infested with woodworm , but when the Hobbit Sergeant Majors Mille burst into flames....

The truth will out....

Some folk will remember that the instructions for Evo/renegade air kits always tell you to remove the FLAMABLE buffer pad that is glued underneath the tank?

And some will even recall the advice for cleaning filters - ie cold water etc.. Z but not soap as when that dries out it does become quite FLAMABLE

apparently the flames were a lovely blue and green...

I did say the piss would be taken mate ;)
