François SAEZ Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Attached is a color wartime picture showing one wxith a crew member.In my opinion, they are typical from early war (for the use) but I also believe that they are part of the content on the observer bag (have to check) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Temple-West Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Great shot, FThe attention to detail on flight crew kit never ceases to amaze!

François SAEZ Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 As my German is close to zero, I attach a pic of what (among other things) should be found in the observer bag (as the one in the color picture) maybe someone wil be able to translate if it is mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the confusion my friend, it doesn't provide "heat" but "light" when you writte at night or in a dark place of the plane, seems to be powered by 2 small batteries inside the pencil.I agree for an observer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
