Parachute Backpad For WW2 RAF Seat - Type & Observer - Type Harness.




Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:92617
Original Description:
Up for auction is an original parachute backpad for both WW2 British / Commonwealth Seat-type and Observer-type parachutes. Very rare! British War Dept. Arrow stamped! 
It is the traditional yellow-brown khaki duck cotton backpad with webbing straps to secure the harness. Has all the snaps, which are still functional. Possibly used but shows little wear and is in very good overall condition. Has been stored in a smoke-free home for many years. Has British War Department Ar...row stamp as the photos show (green only on photos to highlight Arrow stamp). I have been told it is essentially a wartime backpad but bidders can confirm with photos.    For those that are not familiar, British and Commonwealth fighter pilots flying Hurricanes, Spitfires, etc. in the Second World War would have used the Seat-type harness that allowed the pilot to sit on the connected parachute pack in the cockpit. Bomber Crews in Lancasters, Halifaxs, etc. would have used the Observer-type harness that allowed for the parachute pack to be hooked on in front, if needed. I have included photos of each type.
Knowing this, each type of harness assembly show backpads that are EXACTLY the same pattern as this one. This backpad is adaptable with both type of assemblies. **Please note** This auction is ONLY for the backpad and does NOT include the parachute harnesses.
I have only seen less than a handful of backpads like this, which rarely show up on eBay. Don't miss out on this opportunity to fit or replace your original or reproduction parachute harness!
