Early BW Heer helicopter jacket

[Gordon Craig]

Gentlemen,

I bought this jacket from another forum member recently. It was identified as a jacket worn by helicopter crews. I have searched for pictures of this jacket in wear without success so I am posting it here in case someone else does.

Regards,

Gordon

Interesting jacket. I didn't know that something like this existed.

Wow, that's very cool! Never seen one of these before. Stuff still turns up that's new to me.

Interesting jacket!
Were the flags on each upper arm removed?

Chris,

The jacket is still in Germany so I do not know if it ever had flags sewn to it. I'll let you know when it arrives.

Nice! I also have never seen anything like this before. The cloth looks like it might be Aramid.

Hi,

I am the former owner, funny to see where the jacket ends.

I am knowing a collector who owns a complete suit, I will ask him to send me some pics of the trousers. It seems that the suit was very short lived due to the introduction of the flying overall in the 70´s.

Bye

Frank,

Looking forward to the pictures of the trousers. You must have missed my PM when I bought this uniform with Jens help.

Regards,

Gordon

Yes, I didn´t get any info about your PM.

Good luck for obtaining the matching trousers
