Very useful publication. Softback with period adverts,this is the original govt. publication, printed November 1939. NOT A REPRINT.

Air Pamphlet 214. Issued to aircrew flying in tropical regions, it shows you how to make a fire, catch things and which hideous looking plants can be eaten and which cannot. Published 9/73. Excellent condition and an interesting publication.

A rare beasty. Here we have an Air Ministry marked and 1940 dated rucksack from the 1925 Pattern equipment.

Its in surprisingly nice condition. A strap has been trimmed off but is included as it was found inside the rucksack.

The kick strap being detachable isn't present but they NEVER are.

Excellent condition.

With original clapper and it still 'rings'.

Bears the legend 'cast from aircraft shot down over Great Britain 1939-45'.

Sold in aid of the RAF Benevolent Fund. I have seen bells without this legend so I assume that means they ran out of Heinkels and Messerschmits to melt down at some point.

Anyway, this is the one that you want.

WW2 dated and Air Ministry marked, 'issue' spoon which was carried in the airman's kit roll.

WW2 dated and Air Ministry marked, 'issue' fork which was carried in the airman's kit roll.

This is an original air dropped leaflet, it was one of a small assortment I bought from an airman's widow.

He was a fitter on Lancaster airframe and acquired a few leaflets from those that didn't jettison during leaflet raids.

It is coded I46, that means it is the 46th leaflet we designed to drop on Italy.

This is from an RAF survival pack (I think). Obviously empty but in nice order.

Quite unusual to find these, this is a MECo 1942 dated mag pouch to hold three Sten magazines.

Excellent condition.

This is really an item for equipment collectors. Its Air Ministry marked and dated 1941 but its khaki webbing not the normal RAF blue.

Excellent condition. Only one!
