RWW Posted February 14, 2018 #1 Posted February 14, 2018 Below are photos of an interesting cushion make by H. Koch & Sons for the F-4 CNU-111 Survival Kit. The cushion uses an SRU-6 Arctic Survival Overcoat for the "padding". The coat has been modified by cutting off the lower skirt which wrapped around the legs. It appears the coats were shortened and rehemmed after production due to the "ragged" appearance of the bottom of the coat.
RWW Posted February 14, 2018 Author #3 Posted February 14, 2018 The cover is held together by Velcro. This is a photo of the partially open cover.

mohawkALSE Posted February 14, 2018 #6 Posted February 14, 2018 Really cool piece, never saw one of those before.
viking73 Posted February 14, 2018 #7 Posted February 14, 2018 That's a new one to me also. Very cool. Welcome to the forums! I hope you are planning on posting some photos of your F-4 ejection seat soon -Derek
dustin Posted February 14, 2018 #8 Posted February 14, 2018 Now that is pretty cool, it's much like the same concept of the WWII Type B-5 kit. There is certainly a wide variety of jet age survival equipment, all very interesting.
