In car toilet?

[ZR1cliff]

I caught the tail end (NPI) of a news report about a couple who have invented the first in car toilet,apparently they have been marketing it here and are of to the states to float the idea over there,i would like to know if it has shut off valves in the event of a collision,sorry if this has been done before.

Hmmmmm....my dad had a car with a toilet in it in the 60s. (not very hi-tech tho..lift the back seat and lo! there it was)

I think baffle plates for anti-slop is prolly a good idea

From what i could hear it has its own motor that chops up the waste then sends it to a tank in the boot(trunk if your American),this is so you can drive and have a **** without stopping but surely after the event your gonna have to wipe it,which means plod are going to have to think up a name for a new offence,like driving while wiping ones @rse,any ideas?

IIRC some bomber pilots in WW2 used a long rubber tube, with the spare end stuck out of a hole in the aircraft... can anyone confirm this?

Heard tell that Mustang pilots got a 'comfort' tube (icing problems?). Didn't most bombers have an 'Elsan' (sp)?



It's nice at the airport. Sometimes the 'honey wagons' get overfilled and they spill 'blue water' on the roadway. Run away!


[edit]Can confirm that Lancasters had an 'Elsan' chemical toilet. Would be more trouble in smaller types and fighters.
Read a good WW1 novel about fighters (Goshawk Squadron). They used castor oil as a lubricant..it doesn't just lube engines So if it wasn't the Hun putting the wind up you then the leaky engines would!
