Bukta tent

[Tengu]

Found an interesting old tent.

made by Bukta

Its a canvas thing, no groundsheet.

sadly missing poles

and in need of a clean...should I hand wash it or bung it in the machine?

Is Bukta a British brand? In Norwegian "bukta" means "the bay"...

So long as I can remember they were an English manufacturer of sports clothing.

I've got a Bukta meths stove...somewhere, very similar to the Turmsport; I'll try and find it.

Thanx for pix/link - yes, canvas/cotton has a great reassuring feel to it.

My father gave me one just like that in 1948. It withstood storms and foul weather all over the UK and Europe and was still in use in the 1970s when I retired it and put it in the attic as I was sentimentally attched to it. It is still there, but I am loath to unpack it as it would probably fall apart.
