cossy1 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Hi This sounds like a stupid question but I am kitting out my austin champ and would like to know if 58 patten webbing and sleeping bag will go in as equipment for when the the champ was in services.

RecyMech Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I have an in service picture of a Mobat, can't see properly on the gunner but the loader/spotter is wearing 58 & there is a Champ parked off to the side.....so yes I guess !:-D H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 They remained in TA service long after regulars dumped them. '58 should go with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrettkitt Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 The one I had lasted to 1967 with the TA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecyMech Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Its a vague picture as far as the webbing goes I admit...but note the position of the ammo pouches in relation to the belt & the rolled up yoke adjuster straps on his chest.....58 ! Picture came c/o ACOC by the way. H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
