If it's any consolation to those of you who had to wear it, washing out a bag of someone elses sweat and snot wasn't exactly my dream job either.
I can but say thankyou, just in case any of it was ever mine.

Thanks Dave but unless you were at Leuchars it probably wasn't yours.
Incidentally. I had the dubious pleasure of doing one of the few 'live' de-contams during GW1. It descended into farce when another crew in normal gear mooched into the LHA right in the middle of it. I think the whole thing had been sparked by a CAM reacting to fuel or something.
As for the press studs, any FJ bods will likely not recognise them because the manifold slotted into a receptacle fitted onto the LSJ. No press studs, just the odd broken fingernail taking them off.

Had one chap in Germany I believe had to cut the facepiece out of an AR5 with his aircrew knife when it all went pearshaped in a Jag Tbird...
