Stressy Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 The instructions for the Airfix Swift give, what I think, is an unlikely shade of blue for the seat harness. Looking at the various seats of aircraft to be found in museums has left me wondering when and where the strap material became blue as there seems to be lots of seat with kaki green or brown shades of harness. Any pointers on RAF harness colours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat fingers Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 If I remember correctly, the blue harness is the seat straps (for strapping the aircrew inti the seat), and the green/khaki harness is for the safety equipment, ie parachute.
