  1. I thought people might be interested to see this dummy parachute kit. The main pack is dated 73, and the separate actual rig harness is 77. The reserve dummy carries no date. I wondered if anyone could remember doing drills in them?!
  2. I would really like some black 70s ones. Yes these brown ones remain a mystery. Hopefully someone out there can solve it!
  3. Hi all. I recently acquired these brown leather 1979 N.I gloves with black cuffs. They are a mystery to me. Both are labelled the same. Any ideas?
  4. Oh and the one in the photo is (and remains) mine. I got it from USA. Strange there are no images, no information and you never see one, I've found the same thing.
  5. Hi sorry for the late reply I haven't logged in for years! Yes i saw one go on eBay too, maybe a couple of years ago? He'd clearly removed all the labels and successfully passed it off as some kind of mysterious rarity. I cringed when I saw the end price... someone is going to get a big comedown one day! Lovely colours and a nice quality. Slightly flimsy feeling zip. But otherwise a cracking looking garment.
  6. I just acquired this, with the 0 in front of the size is it Gurkha issue perhaps ?
  7. Interesting to see again that the parka is the same maker and contract. So far I have never seen a different one and this furthers my suspicion that this was the only run of them (unless anyone has a variant?). Did it come with that early 80's liner? No sign of the original liner? This parka was definitely a superior build and design quality to the heavy cotton one that became issue. Apart from the noisy material.
  8. That's a great piece. I bet that book is a fascinating read!
  9. Resurrecting an old thread it seems! Here are a couple of interesting additions. The one in the left is a size 3 (1967) and has the addition of chest pockets. The one on the right is a size 4 from the previous year and does not.
  10. Hi all. Quick competition (Although there is no prize for the winner!) Who can identify this windproof smock? No label shots as obviously that's cheating. I recently saw on go on the bay for a lot of money Edwards53 you're barred from entering as you already know the answer! 😃
