Fred Boucher (JPTRR) has sent us a very useful set of reference photos which he took of the figures on display at Wright-Patterson USAF Museum.

Hi Jean-Luc

That's one for you to chase up.

There's no British one either - so I'll have to put that right. As part of my Defiant nightfighter research, I've taken some pics of the gunner's flying gear on display at the RAF Museum, Hendon. I'll get some picsof standard gear on my next visit.

All the best

Rowan
