On another post, like so many I've seen here in the past, the crowbar on a Spitfire was painted red. No I understand from everyone on this fine site, there is no such thing as a red crowbar. But, it got me thinking, what is the origination of this idea of the red crowbar. How did this develop? I know this is not a burning question for most, but it has piqued my curiosity. Any takers?

When was the Hawker Tempest crowbar moved from the floor to the headrest? Apparently it was moved at mod 363, but does anyone know when this mod came in? Eduard have the brackets for it on all there Tempest kits headrests, though no crowbar is supplied. Does anyone have a close up of it installed at the headrest position? What was the colour of the crowbar? I've got a B&W picture from the pilot's manual, when it was mounted on the floor and it could be silver or grey green maybe?
