Yes - that was it.....A most amusing half-hour watching grumpy Pete Marks practising drills at N Luffenham after a heavy night out on the beer & curry.
Think he got picked out to demonstrate because he had fallen asleep..
Good times

Some delightful marketing prose about the AR5 and the CBRR (they might as well call it the AR5 Mk2) on the maker's website.

AR5 in the wet.
Ginseng and BEagle. Did you try it in the dunker? I admit that the face plate made water entry easier but it's those memories of floating around with your hand in the air, trying to keep the intake out of the water, that are so special. Do you remember having to deflate the life jacket before cranking your head over far enough to release the bayonet connection on the hose to the neck valve? Just delightful, especially if your brain could not remember which way to turn it.
Not all recollections are bad; it was novel watching a trapper's face as he received the preflight brief from his victim in AR5.

"Ready in the module...."
What memories....Oh how I laughed when my QRB jammed in the 90 open position during the inverted run and they raised the thing with me expecting to fall out on headfirst at any second...

"To accommodate changes in environmental pressure while wearing the AR5 Respirator, the valsalva manoeuvre can be performed by operation of a nose occluder. The nose occluder assemblies are sized to allow for variations in individual physiological features."
excellent.....
Imagine being paid to make this sound attractive
