Derek Bradshaw Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Hello Giorgio, Those aircrew PEC's are brilliant! When I served in the RAF on Lightnings between 1976-82, my trade was that of a Survival equipment Fitter and Flying Clothing Technician, so I started on Lightning brake parachutes, then progressed to Liferafts and PSP's, then Ejection Seat Emergency Escape Parachutes and finally Flying Clothing where I used to service all aircrew flying clothing including PEC's, so I am impressed with those you made, especially in 1/72 scale!
