N°3 bag carriere manpack

[Colin Alford]

Daniel,

When I first looked at the pictures of the bag it reminded me of the configuration of the carrying straps on the Supply Unit No. 4 for the WS22.

I had some free time and decided to do some research to see if I could prove a WS22 connection.

I found reference to ZA 14044 on page 53 of this document: http://www.vmarsmanuals.co.uk/archiv...structions.pdf

The nomenclature is different in that ZA 14044 is referred to as "Covers Immersion, No 2" there are also 2 notes: "Only issued with early sets" and "Only issued when specially authorized"

I hope this helps,
Colin

Thanks for all informations.
The reference ZA 14044 is the reference for the N°2 WS 22 bag, but certainly used Under the indication N°3 for an other radio because the WS 22 is not a manpack ?
Photos from the bag found in Normandie.

The WS22 is a man-pack radio.

Not one of the most practical as it needs to be carried by more than one person.

Here I thought it was something that the CF would think of.

Good one, Bruce.

If only they made a bottle the size of that pack!
