KIt ideas
« Thread Started on Oct 29, 2008, 10:12am »

Some of you may have have one or you may be thinking of buying one. You'll have to thank the Fox for the assault vest you buy, as I was the inventor of the orginal vest back in 1989, I designed the assault vest that you either love or loathe.

It was designed for the mechanised warfare, made from Royal Air Force flight survival vest. The vest was very tight to the body, this made getting in and out of armoured vehicles easy. It was to ensure that the commander, gunner and driver had a fighting chance, if and when their armoured fighting vehicle was taken out. We used to have to try and grab our webbing which more than likely was stowed away. The vest was tried and tested in BATCUS, The British Army mechanised warfare training area in Canada. My crew had no problems in fighting another day when our armoured fighting vehicle was taken out. Gulf 1 kicked off, and I very quickly sent the idea to Special Air Sea Services, as I could see the use for it in the Gulf. They never sent back my idea back to me, but they are made in their thousands by them and different companies.

They are ideal for vehicle ops as your items of kit in front of you. However the companies that make them have forgotten.That it was invented for armoured fighting crews, and it is very difficult to get in and out of an armoured fighting vehicle with all the pouches they have put on the front.There is a new vest the MOD trials and development team have brought outin 2004, which is the same as my idea from 1989. For all those you think I lying about being the inventor of the vest. I have put got some very baby faced pictures of me before I went to Gulf I wearing the original vest.

Unfortunately I didn't know about copyright or patent it back in 1991 however this has not stopped me from coming out with other ideas which be of great use to you as a cadet/instructor or a member of the forces.However this time I am not so young and will make sure I get it sorted before I give my idea to a company to make.
