SAS Polar Survival Equipment
 

The SAS museum at Gradermoen proberbly got alot of info. :ok:

Good idea, Mech! :) The museum should have some material - and probably contacts to direct you to for more info. I remember there was a documentary made, I think it was for the SAS 50th anniversary (1996?), where the trans-polar flights and the safety measures associated with the feat were presented by enthusiastic veteran flight crew. Perhaps the museum has a copy? Some more information about the museum here. Looks like they have the equipment on display. ;)

Thanks for your reply. The SAS museum used to have a web site with quite a lot of information and photographs, but it has dissapeared. Only small mention on SAS main company web site plus a page on the Gardermoen aircraft museum web site.
Will be visiting both museums in May, but may be in the mean time a web site will appear!!!!!!

You might also find som info at Norsk Luftfartsmuseum in Bodø:ok:. Definitely worth paying a visit:}

Thanks for your reply. As explained in reply to Flying Mech, SAS museum and archive web site has dissapeared. May be some one will read these lines and get a site going again.
I flew with a British Airline in the 70s and 80s and did many poar flights. I want to make comparisions between the various company's equipment, and their attitude to polar survival.:D

Many thanks for your reply. In May I am back packing round the Lofoten Islands. I have the Bodo museum on my "visits" list before I fly down from Bodo to Oslo , where I have put a day aside to visit the Gardermoen museums.
Your suggestion about checking polar survival equipment at the Bodo museum had'nt crossed my mind. I was initially going to check out the Bodo aircraft but will seek out any equipment on display.
Many thanks.:)
