#OTD in 1969: EC-121 Shootdown. A US Navy EC-121 [135749] on a reconnaissance mission is attacked by N. Korean AF Mig-21 fighters and crashes off Chongjin (North Korea). All 31 aboard die, the largest single loss of U.S. aircrew during the Cold War era.
Before the advent of modern computer software, flight simulation was a very labour intensive and complicated means of training aircrew. This Convair designed simulator dates from the late 1950s and is entirely 'analogue' in construction.

Work in progress on a design for a near-future aircrew loadout. Climate controlled fragsuit, helmet with integrated NVG.
It was flawed, it had a poor safety rate and was only in RAF service for a few years...but I still wish I had been around to have had a flight in a Westland (Bristol) Belvedere helicopter.
I served with a handful of ex-Belvedere aircrew and I didn't find much love for the beast!
Probably lived in a barn for years, but the rubber’s still good
A little scrubbing and silicone and PRESTO!
Just like new!
(WWII A-14 oxygen mask used by pilots and aircrew. Harness removed in the last 2 pics cause I’m waiting on some replacement rubber)
