Updates

We had an excellent week at the 'War & Peace' show and it was good to meet some of our customers in person. Once we have unpacked and updated our stocklists we will begin preparing for the next update. This will include a few items sourced at Beltring along with some nice gear recently found in our stores. Precise upload date and times will be posted in due course so keep watching.... Orders placed in the last week have been logged and will be processed at the earliest opportunity this week.

R.A.F. 1941 Pattern Mae-West Bladder

Stores ref. 22c/72. White/grey rubberized cotton bladder for the '41 pattern mae-west. The material has stains and marks but is completely flexible and appears undamaged. The oral inflation tube is also flexible and the valve opens and closes freely. There is no inflation lever or CO2 bottle fitted but it does have the securing ring clip in place. Air Ministry, King's Crown marked and dated 9/44. I imagine this would probably still inflate but I never recommend this as doing so introduces moisture and can promote internal rotting.
A good example. Stock code MW14501.

R.A.F. 1941 Pattern Mae-West Flotation Lamp

Stores Ref. 5c/2728. The correct 2-piece “torch” for the 1941 patt. mae-west. The cylindrical metal battery container has its original pale drab blue-grey paint finish and the bulb and clear cover is attached to the top of the wooden floating section (shows wear/use). The rubber covering on the wiring loom is cracking/shedding although not quite as badly as usual. The paint finish on the battery case is quite good although there is some light chipping and surface corrosion. The casing is clearly stamped with Air MInistry markings, King's Crown and reference numbers. Rare to find now. Not to be confused with the “Easco” lamps which are not correct for the pocket on the mae-west. Stock code MW13268.
