Couldn't find one, apart from the E-Bay one mentioned above by Ex herc squip. Thought the gents in the photo could have been from 249 Sqn, but they were low level bombers at the time and I don't supposed they had a need for partial pressure garments. Whos the Cpl?

Coff! Excellent video:ok::ok:. I`m sure one of my ancient squipper colleagues will recognise the LAC in Flying Clothing... He is quite distinctive, after all...I will not elaborate in case the PC police are watching..;)

Sorry Old Man having seen that photo before I also failed to recognize the Squippers. Did not use the G.T.C until I was posted to 213 Squadron on B(I)6 Canberra's in 1964,never had much use for one as my postings up till then were Cranwell (worked at Barkston Heath) Piston Provost-Varsity and Valetta. Syerston J/P's then Hullavington to No 2ANS back to V&Vs so it was the Testset Type 376 for me. The G.T.C might have been a monster and a venerable antique but as you know by fitting the appropiate P.E.C. it was adaptable and capable of testing the Aircrew Equipment Assemblies (AEA) of every fast-jet from the 50's to the Tornado. It must have been one of the best bargains the SE trade ever had. Yes I nearly did shed a tear as I attached the F3910 scrap label to send it to it's doom.:uhoh:
