Thanks John and everyone else who made helpful suggestions. John, 
that Agfanews is pretty surreal - Lewton-Brain?  Reality seems to be 
on the blink today - probably had my head inside this machine for too 
long.

Will be visiting the fabric warehouse tomorrow and having a look at 
some of that  rip stop nylon.

I leave you with another quote from the effusive Mr Lewton-Brain:

"Bluing is a material that fluoresces blue under normal lighting 
conditions. If you have a surface that is emitting a blue light, then 
that eliminates any yellow light that you would otherwise see. What 
this means is that your sheets are actually yellowish, but the bluing 
in them fluorescing blue eliminates the yellow, and so they appear 
white to us - but perhaps not to the film and camera."


Think I need to lay down for a while........

Cheers,
        Clive
