Thanks, David

Superb photo David! Note also the odd cover on the helmet. They all have the "instructor" look so perhaps they are on an exercise.

@ Sergey.... i am sure the green cover is the textbook one, only two of the hooks are broken....

Nice photo! Wonder if the French archives have more of these photos. Always a pleasure to see them.

Cover is standard type imo, missing section, missing clips, and edge rolled up.
