Provenance

Not really sure what to do with an obsolete but brand new tent flysheet so thought we’d better archive it and see what happens in 100 years time!
Ronald Hatcher, the owner, e mailed us this comment:-
“ Hi, I have a Blacks Itisa Senior rip stop nylon fly sheet from about 1975/6. It is red in colour & is in new condition as I somehow ended upbwith two when I purchased the original tent which I nonlonger have. Came across tis in the loft while clearing out. It has original peg bag and top A pole stand off bit. It is still folded and the guy ropes tied as they left the dactory. I bought it at L&D Mountain Centre, Newcastle.
