[ARC5] [Milsurplus] Gibson Girl question ( BC-778 ? )

[Tim]

FWIW, the Gibson Girls (presumably the CRT-3 morph) was aboard P-3 Orions
in the mid 1970's with the parachute pack.  We had one aboard my ship
(Minesweeper) in 1986....Routine PM was done on it while I was aboard but I
don't know to what extent ....
