Hi Bull,
thanks for your reply.
Yes we're covered for NVG flashlights thanks.
Our aircraft are fitted standard with a good survival bag and also an assortment of personal survival aids fitted to the mae west of each crew member including strobes, flares and PLB's.
The fleece tube for the neck you mentioned is definitely something I think we could look into as a standard issue item, and defintely from a fire safety perspective, as many of the guys are wearing personally owned items that I suspect are made of synthetic fibres that would shrink and melt onto the victims neck in the event of a fire.
Thanks again.
