Nissen Huts
Taphappy and Petet,
Sad story,
Valley, spring 1951; coke stove in my half-Nissen looked a bit scruffy; let's give it a coat of paint; used black gloss (!); autumn came; bit chilly one day; asked batman to light stove late afternoon; tea in mess, back to Nissen.
Stovepipe smoking nicely, opened door.
Wall to wall to roof thick choking black smoke, flung door and (small) windows open, room uninhabitable till midnight, freezing cold, stank for weeks.
Better luck next time!
Danny.
