Some of the life jackets in my collection:

Life Jacket Mk4A: Used from the mid 1950’s to the 1970's
Image

Beaufort Mk15: Used from the 1970s to 1990’s (helicopters and slow movers)
Image

Beaufort Mk17: Used in the 1980s to 1990’s (fighters)
Image

Secumar 150 SAF: 1994 - Current (fighters, helicopters and transport)
Image
(The Secumar 150 above is a Frankenstein of two really old and rotten examples, so has a few clips, etc missing. Still looking for a complete example :wink: )

Been concentrating on flight gear related stuff, but I did acquire this a few years ago:

The prop from one of the original Israeli-delivered Seeker RPV operated by the SAAF.

I wish I was shy...

Certain economic realities has slowed the collection somewhat, but donations still graciously accepted!

Reseach for the book on SAAF flight gear since 1945 is still going strong. :)
