Thank you Paul and Phil
Not sure how many there are out there but i've waited some years to bag an issued example with light wear and tear and i also believe there is a non inflatable liner variant too

The outer shell is quite common...but the inflatable liner is a biggie......

Thanks Ade If i cast my mind back did we spot one of these on one of the stalls at War and Peace when we met up back in 2016

I think it might’ve been. :-)

.....tho if I’d’ve known they came with blow-up liners I’d’ve snapped it up!
