Two rifles? Notice the small snap pocket on the lower left inside of the pants, could be for the para knife? Also the low flying piper type plane. Cool pic, thanks Mark.....Frank

He looks to be retrieving gear that belonged to someone else. He has a slung rifle and is wearing a cartridge belt with a canteen yet is holding these same items that are obviously not his and maybe looking to pick up something else that is still on the ground.

FRANK - The plane looks to be a Taylorcraft L2-A. The wing dihedral and landing gear are different on the Piper (Cub) L4's
