pararaftanr2 Posted June 5, 2015 Share #2 Posted June 5, 2015 Niki, It is a quick-attachable type made for civil aviation and would not have been used in a military capacity. Regards, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWII Parachutist Posted June 6, 2015 Share #4 Posted June 6, 2015 As Paul stated, this is a civilian rig and not military issue. I have seen a handful of these in use, but this was not at all common and an extremely rare occurrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
