    Looking at some old QOY pics I can't find any with ans Explorer on, but another with other recovery vehs and they don't have any markings except union flag front and rear.

    The Ripstop ones were the initial pattern ones. The Lightweight jackets(shirts) were next. The next pattern of trousers were made of the same material as the Lt Wt jkts. The weave in the temperate jackets was improved. This was when the DPM fleece was issued as it was to replace the JHW as an outside garment. This was later chnged to a plain green fleece to be worn as an under layer only. I have a chart somewhere showing the layer system and how it is used, if I can find it I'll post it.

    I know the first ones I was issued with were literally pants. They wore very easy in the knee and crotch area and left a web of nylon threads which had a tendency to rub in the vital areas:red:. To this end I have come to believe they bwere fairly quickly got rid of.

    The main problem we had when training, is that due to the feed mechanism tne links on the drill rounds were stretched so you could only use them once and it was difficult at times to get replacement links.

    If i've got my Inst head on right was there not a firing of a round during the unload as there was always a fed but unfired round in the chamber and the only way to remove it was to fire it???

    You don't realise what a huge frontal target the Sherman is until you see something like this. Axis A/T gunners must of not been able to miss.
