Which type
If you buy the correct type of NVG in the first place then you won't have to worry about where to hide the NVG in those long 1 hour orbits!
Why not do like the rest of the world and use ANVIS, they simply pull off and sit around your neck on a piece of string when not required for extended periods. Re-connecting is simple, it's the technique used for years by militaries all over the world.
So many points from the previous threads on NVG and this current one that when I get back from our current det I’ll address them one at a time.
We shouldn't be re-inventing the wheel now we finally have a UK clearance!
And for some, not all, of those ex-mil Police Pilots out there, try a modern set of NVG over a well lit area! It’s not Bessbrook in 1985 any more, technology has advanced since then.
