Stores Ref. 6F/201, Type CK (all quite faint/indistinct). Webbing harness that was used to secure the pilot into the seat of his fighter aircraft.

This example has the additional metal fittings for attaching the harness to the cockpit/airframe. These still have some of the original green paint remaining.
