MHillyard Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) Bought at the car boot today, can't say i've seen one like this before, dated 1966. Any ideas what it would be used for and what would it be worn with? Condition is better than the photo shows Edited April 1, 2012 by MHillyard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Not Army, it's RAF. 22P is Vocab Section for survival equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 It equates to 8405-99-125-3689 Hat, sun, survival kit Men only it seems, NSC 8405 is for Outwear, mens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdbikemad Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Probably tropical aircrew kit........the army version is a different shape, and normally has a cloth sewn band around the crown to attach cammo foliage...plus ventilation eyelets........and, I seem to recall, a different shape....?

Scotch Harry Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Just came across this-had it for a few years(cannot remember from where it came) and appears to be similar.Unfortunately the label is missing and my cap has a wire brim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
