Can anyone identify this?
The cable shown in this photo appears to be coming out of the neck area of the sidcot suit. I thought it might be an intercom connction but as it only seems to be worn by the airgunners on the photo, could it be a heated suit connection?

Dave,
I think the "intercom" option may be the correct one. I found this picture of a dummy in a Talor suit, with what appears to be the same cable going to the earphones, but!

There is no paralell in warfare, to such courage and determination in the face of danger, over so long a period. Such devotion, should never be forgotten.

Thanks for that. I must say I was leaning towards to audio rather than the heating option!

That's a standard intercom jack hanging off the end.

I confirm it as the standard intercom jack plug as fitted to crew headsets.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the welcome, pity I had to get busted back to LAC. 47 years ago I was was happy to get promoted from Senior Apprentice to AC.
