£5 to the charity of your choice if.....

I know this.

It's the forensics photo after the equipment was vandalised during half time at the National Indoor Swingball Championships.

Donation to the Home for Flatulent Pornstars please.

Not a clue but if you turn the picture upside down it becomes even more sinister!

Looks lie a police crime scene, mr whiplash.

Was one of the 15 mr saville ?

Wild guess here.

I think this could be a gass inlet into a oven or room, to euthenise PO's in Germany in WW2?

I DO hope i'm WRONG?

I have no idea how old you are Tony so if I have added a decade or two then I'm sorry!

Did you have to do National Service?

Were you "chosen" for experiments in chemical and biological warfare?

Which would put the room in Porton Down.

Could be a gas chamber (CS gas) for gas mask and noddy suit drills - lock the door with your poor recruits inside and ignite the CS gas pellet on the plate above the pole and off you go. 

The remains of a bar table in a rugby club house ?

It was not for testing mobile phone ring tones was it? I'd want to escape that room pretty fast. 

Something to do with parachute training or preparation?

A room for CS gas exposure. You would initially enter the room wearing a respirator and tablets of the gas would be placed on the pole and lit. After walking around the room for a while you would then remove the respirator, say your name etc. and leave.

I may be wrong of course!  

Just looked at tony on the thread of the recent gathering. Could have had nation service for first world war (only kidding)

The pole could be where he darms hs stripey socks !!

Great thread though Tony, keep the guessing going

Tied to the pole until you tell an original and funny joke? G

15 of you in there and you where scared.

Must be a Rugby Union shower/changing room.

Déjà vu

So sniper, whats the charity?

My introduction to a gas chamber came on a baking hot day. One of the Directing Staff called out 'gas gas gas' and we got our masks on and then our NBC suits and then we had to run in the heat for several hundred yards trying to suck enough air through the filter to stay alive and then we were herded into a brick hut that stood alone in the middle of a field. When the CS gas was ignited at least 2 completely panicked and I don't know how I kept it together. We had to do various drills like changing filters with the poor sod standing next to us and of course the time honored 'mask off and number/rank/name' before being allowed out. Waiting for your turn to get out seems like an eternity. CS gas is probably way worse than anyone who has not experienced it might think. A deeply unpleasant experience at the time but character forming no doubt. 

Made me think of an episode of Mission Impossible (the original) where a hole was drilled in a concrete safe floor, the gold bars extracted by heating the room until the gold melted and flowed out the hole, and the room sprayed with fresh cement to hide the evidence!! Anyone remember that ??

Better make the donation to these guys - http://www.combatstress.org.uk/

Very honourable sniper.

Tony, some of the jokes suggest maybe the gas mask seal was not up to the job! 

Enjoyed the thread though
