Firstly, I hope you sell it and I'm sure someone will love it.

And everyone has their own taste - which is what makes the world go round.

But... (and you can tell I'm building up to a less positive comment)

For me that tent hit every branch when it fell out of the Ugly Tree. LOL

Fair one everyone to there own ,,,

The design was very much of an era , all the wind stress was pasted on within the tent making it very stable in high wind .

Blacks of Greenock were the Hilleberg of there day .

Looks to me as if the poles should be on the inside to improve the tension on the canvas. Anyway better pitching would improve the general appearance and Rain shedding of the tent.

Good tents back then, the school had a couple of the civvie versions, orange but IIRC no ground sheet.

Yes the ground sheet is a separate item
