Bristol Beaufighter TF MK.X seat belts?


Recommended Posts

Hey all

 As I'm not very familiar with this aircraft, could someone please let me know what type of seatbelts were used in the TF MK.X in coastal command. I need to order some from HGW for the build I'm doing on my 1/32 Revell Beaufighter, and need to know which ones to get.

Thanks Ron G

I have no specific knowledge of this one, but would venture an educated guess that it was a Sutton harness, like on other contemporaries, including the Mosquito.

Of course, i’d be happy to proved wrong ;)

Yes Hubert, but which Sutton harness.

That is correct, however I have never seen the shoulder straps in a single picture, it is hard to believe that they would be flying without them. Maybe more knowledgeable guys can pitch in. Safe bet is to install west belts on the seat and pretend that shower straps fell on the ground. :)
