Kneeboard with rolling paper.
I am rather keen to find a kneeboard with rolling paper (rather than a clip to hold sheets of paper.
I find myself testing aircraft in some rather cramped cockpits, and changing over pages of the test cards is sometimes quite tricky whilst maintaining control and a good lookout.
I remember seeing someone with an "issue" kneeboard from (I think) ETPS with a device to roll the paper (rather like a strip map) to reveal the next items.
Anyone have any idea where I may purchase one?
Many thanks,
Jez

I had a colleague who had one and it was excellent. But, he'd been issued with it and as I think he graduated from ETPS in 1978, probably not recently.
I'd suggest looking around antique dealers and aerojumbles.
Or an ipad with kneeboard mount?

When I used to take a lot of clearances, I use to use a kids "toy" writing pad. It had a translucent cloudy plastic sheet, and a sticky black pad underneath. when you wrote on the translucent sheet, even with your finger nail, you would see the black appear. to clear it, you lift the translucent sheet. Cheap and simple. If you need to retain the notes, photograph with your phone.

No need to look in an antique shop, these things are still widely used - albeit in a fairly narrow field.
If you do a google image search for 'dakar motorcycle navigation' - you'll see that almost every bike has such a device mounted on it.

Presumably. Fascinating, didn't know those existed.
"Roadbook holder" seems to be the key words to search on.
