zigster Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Does anybody know, what kind of parachute Greek AF used in 1940? This kit got a padding in a pan, as well as in the back of their seat, which is wrong - this, or that. I believe, Poles had a back chute, and RAF had an under the backside one, Doing a kit for a friend, so I'm trying to do my best. :-) Zig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Above photo is showing a kind of pillow to seat on it, so parachute in this Bulgarian PZL P24 was on back, not to seat on it. Regards J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vangos Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 They used a similar to RAF type of parachute, as it is shown in this picture. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigster Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 Gents! Thank you for your interest and replays. vangos - looks like I have to rebuild that seatpan to the empty bucket 😅, where I knew it will be one, or the other. No sweat. JWM - that's Bulgarian (rather then Greek) for starters, then, as a testing airframe, it was tested by Poles (I guess), with their back chutes. Do we know, what type of chutes Bulgarians were using?
