Re: Lightweight jerry cans
Aluminium means lots of electricity required along with raw material (bauxite) so it's either hydro or nuclear. Around 1500 miles will see you at the border if leaving from London...

A product of Mother Russia and her ingenious native engineers, peculiarly stamped "Made in USSR" so I'm guessing post 1991, otherwise it'd all be in cyrillic?

Re: Lightweight jerry cans
Good point, Adrian. Maybe this suggests that they were made for export? Default to English for all markets?

Could well be export within the Iron Curtain. Not all of those countries used Cyrillic. Yugoslavia was mostly "normal" letters (The Serbs used Cyrillic, the others didn't), Poland, East Germany, Czech and others on the fringes were all "normal" letters. Don't know about the Central Asian 'stans.
