PM Tadpole if he doesn't spot this - I think he has one by Palmer, who also made aluminium float tubes.
Any chance of a pic?

....... a Palmerfloat by Palmer of Alvechurch, Birmingham (the centre of our universe!).
You might be lucky to pick them up on "Fleabay" but they are no longer made.
Other bits you might keep an eye open for are "The "PALMERFLOAT" Case, disgorger and various float attachments that were marketed by them.
