Noticed the US listings as well however a quick check of the shipping fees for a 16cm billy came back at $33 
raymears.com has the 12 cm, a perfect size for one person who may take a child along now and then.
I think a 12 cm billy is too small for cooking a child
it depends on how small you dice it
I don't like the 10cm billy, it's too small for my tastes.
10 cm is fine for a day hike if you only want a brew or something like that. Saying that, if you have a metal mug, it seems a bit daft!
Maybe 10 cm is a tad small (even if one dices the child) but I love Wayland's stove set and fancied making one.
It could be made with a larger 12 cm billy though, I found a perfect drainer that fits the 12 cm zebra with a very good tight fit for packing away. It was cut in the same way as Gary did his, and I can also fit the 10 cm straight inside with a lid and wire bail arm. I also have a trangia pot support and burner, a finger guard from the back of a computer and a trangia pot handle, a small folding cup and I usually have my wooden spoon in my back pocket. Knife and fire stick baldricked so I have everything I need to make a brew, chuck the lot in a small bag with a nalgene bottle and a few sarnies and I can be off for a good day hike.
If anybody needs one of the 12 cm drainers for a hobo stove, give me a shout and I'll see what I can do. I think they were just under 3 quid, they are coated in what I thought was enamel but it burns off to leave a lovely stainless steel underneath.

made a start pimping my stove spam, got the side bits cut out and hole to fill with fuel, had a thought, do you think some sort of grate inside would improve the air flow, so the actual fire bed is raised off the bottom of the pot

Well, there are holes in the bottom of the drainer, so I was thinking of some legs that could be screwed on. I may get some time tomorrow to have a bash, and then post pics over the weekend. I'll let you know how I get on, and if they work I'll knock you a few up and send them to you to try out.
cheers mate, what have you in mind for the legs, i'v seen some atainless tube knocking about in work
