Latest pilot story is based on a review of the little known SARBE radio/ beacon used by aircrew to call in rescue forces. These were used it is believed from 1950s to 1970s in RAAF and RAF kits. Many pilots would of used them at one point in time after bailing out... of military aircraft with the radio beacons tucked away into their Frankenstein life preservers which snuggly fitted to their bodies.
This model is in particular, quite rare as it is an actual ex RAAF issued SARBE radio beacon.
