Here's a few shots of the lid that goes with the base that Bungy has I got it from an auction about 5 years ago. As well as the complete oven that was displayed at the Cowra bottle show last weekend.

Dave thanks a heap for adding the photo of the complete oven to this thread. Photos like that are positive proof that such ovens did and do exist. Smiley

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd

When Bungy first sent me the photos of his I thought it was trick photography. Oval camp oven my arse I thought. Not falling for that one mate. Nice try though.
