Petet 2296
No card for ordinary clothing.
Card for Flying Clothing. Form Number not known but I still have mine - somewhere. I got away with my flying helmet, goggles, and oxygen mask complete with ear-phones and mike.
Watches were only issued to Navigators. A friend, a navigator from the squadron, managed to retain his Longines when captured, and it kept very good time until a few years ago. The rest bought their own. The Germans usually confiscated all aircrew watches. If any managed to retain them, e.g. the Army, the Russians robbed them. It was usual to see a Russian wearing up to a dozen watches on both arms.
Whistles were issued with Battle dress and I still have mine from 1946 issue.
