The RAF uniform, leather coat, helmet and goggles all look really good. Can't remember where I read it but RAF pilots and observers flying over tribal territories were issued with what were half jokingly refered to as "ghoolie chits" a written promise in various of the local languages and dialects promising a reward for the safe return of the gentleman in question. This would hopefully saved the downed crewman from a very unpleasant end at the hands of the pathan women. I beleive the practise was continued into WW II and similar chits in the appropriate languages were issued to aircrew both in the far east and the balkans.moonshadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11372089125688050755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-524687988228302815.post-64147580834060300542013-08-20T16:07:18.369+02:002013-08-20T16:07:18.369+02:00I like that pilot figure a lot.
