 |  
				| Hi! Graeme/all interested parties.
Re:- your query about urinating facilities for male pilots whilst on long
 flights.
 I have an "acti brief" bag system provided by Bullen Health Care Group.
 85-87 Kempston Street  Liverpool  L3 8HE. Which is distributed on NHS
 prescription by "Script- Easy" Free phone 0800 0121 699
 Product Code AB/18/32.5mm XL Bullen Acti-Brief Uri-Drain System 32.5 mm
 Flange on Briefs  X-Large
 When you discuss with them you could mention your waist dimension.
 They deliver under plain mail. When they send the briefs it will have a
 special kind of diameter measuring device for you to measure your personal
 diameter stats. Mine is 32.5 mm diameter (at the base, not prepared to
 divulge the length !)
 The bag, which is removable from the briefs, has a plug which when removed
 allows the exit tube to be plugged into an overboard dump pipe plumbed along
 the fuselage floor alongside the rudder cable to exit near the fuel water
 drain valve which keeps a positive exit pressure.   I only have two issues:-
 
 a) it is only necessary to dump overboard should you require two or three
 urinations which fill the bag to capacity !
 b) I sewed a secondary 3" fly zip about 6" down the right inner leg seam to
 allow the bag to exit your trousers without needing to flow "up hill" !
 With this system I was awarded the longest flight award 4hours 30 minutes
 Texel to Krems (Vienna)with my long range fuel tank.
 Regards to all
 Bob Harrison G-PTAG .

				| Thanks Bob for all those details! Personally, I use a one liter oil can as a pee bottle for long flights. I recommand Shell VSX4 (see attached picture) as the offset neck and bigger useful diameter makes it quite convenient. An autopilot is a must too.
