I can't go back as far as the 1970s but have
a Vango Force 10 Mark2 classic. It was one of the few tents that survived 23 hours of rain and a gale unscathed at Edinbane campsite sometime in the early 1980s. Frame tents were being flooded and poles snapped in others. The Vango just sat it out, though after the rain stopped when we hit the groundsheet a ripple would travel along it from the water underneath,
a Robert Saunders Jetpacker plus, and
a Robert Saunders Spacepacker plus. This was probably last used about 6 years ago at Ullapool.
