RAF, Anti-G, External, Green, Mk. 2A
Aircraft & Exhibits, Cosford, Hangar Two, X008-4486
Olive green man-made fibre 'trousers' consisting of a broad belly band with legs, but no seat, the legs consisting of panels located over the main muscle groupings of the leg - thighs and calves - and voided in front and behind the knees to facilitate movement. The belly band formed of an inflatable envelope in front and a panel of woven string-fabric behind. The inflatable envelope fitted with a length of tube with connector which attaches to the wearer's PEC from which compressed air is fed into the inflatable belly pad which is linked to the leg sections of the trousers covering the muscle groupings. These areas are made to fit the wearer very tightly by the provision of lacing panels allowing them to be profiled exactly to the contours of the user. Both legs have full length zips running down their insides and shorter zips on the outsides of the thigh portions. Small pocket on right side of belly band. Large patch pockets with pencil tubes on both upper legs with blank panels for writing boards or maps. Two small pockets with flap and Velcro closure on lower legs. Nylon patch on right upper leg for attachment of Aircrew Emergency knife.
RAF, Mk. 40L
Aircraft & Exhibits, Cosford, Hangar Two, X005-5654
Sage green, lifejacket with the Dayglo orange inflatable element retained within a green outer stole housing the release pull at the bottom of the right lobe. The front fastens by means of an over and an under flap both having zips on their edges so that they form a double layer across the chest. The front panel fitted with a steel plate having a keyhole slot in it for the attachment of an oxygen regulator, respirator manifold or a cleat for a hose assembly. The front left lower side provided with two transverse pockets, the right lower side with one transverse pocket. The right one probably to accommodate the homing beacon. The outer and lower edges of the lower pockets on both sides faced with green leather reinforcement. Two Velcro fastening loops are provided; one on the left pocket, the other on the central chest panel by means of which the oxygen supply pipe is directed into the centre line of the wearer's body and restrained from flapping about. A metal D ring is positioned on the front chest to receive the snap hook on the lower end of the oxygen supply pipe as it descends from the mask. Two Velcro loops are provided on the fronts of the shoulders - exact purpose unknown - perhaps to receive the lanyard which connects the lifejacket to the dinghy pack in the ejection seat, when the crewman is not in the aircraft. This tape lanyard with a special attachment fitting on its end emerges from below the left side pocket. Broad adjustable waist strap across the lower back of the garment.
