jerry_k Posted December 2, 2019 Share #634 Posted December 2, 2019 Hi Mike. Thanks for posting your stuff! Great. Nice to see something new here! Of course a QAS pack is the best and your Seat type chute! M421a jacket is interesting. I noticed modification like this somewhere before on M426 flight suit. For sure it was done for kind of purpose! Maybe you are right about M592 kit! Thanks again, Jerry Link to post Share on other sites
1canpara Posted December 2, 2019 Share #635 Posted December 2, 2019 Thanks Rick, I am sure it pales in comparison to your collection. -Reading back through my posts looks like I did a poor job spell checking... I seam to miss a bunch of words when using my iPad. Im honoured that you would think my collection surpasses this amazing display, sadly it doesnt ?? Im still in the novice stage of WWII aviation collecting and can only dream of having the gear that youve shared here! ?
