Great picture. As a British webbing collector, I'm interested to see three of them are wearing items of 1944 Pattern webbing. Not something I would have associated with AFV crew usage.

I got my pair of goggles a little under priced, years ago, because the chap selling them said that they were not ex RAF and he went onto "explain" that to be ex RAF they should have broad arrow markings and not the "A.M." markings that this pair of goggles have. I tried to explain to him that "A.M." stood for "Air Ministry and was/is on the majority or wartime RAF kit but he wouldn't have it. He couldn't tell me what he thought "A.M." stood for but he didn't think it had anything to do with the RAF. I paid him what he asked and didn't try to knock him down.

A certain amount of it was used in Korea, as it was by then regarded as 'special to Far East'.

Even given the theatre of ops, where '44 Patt was pretty much general issue at that time...?
