Reproduction T-5 Camouflage Parachute Canopy

Post by Av8er » Sat May 19, 2018 5:53 am

‘Quartermaster Inspector’ based in Belgium has announced that a reproduction T-5 WWII camouflage parachute canopy suitable for display purposes will be available for sale shortly. For those who are not familiar, think of Quartermaster Inspector as the At The Front supplier for Europe. The canopy should go nicely with the reproduction T-5 parachute harness and pack assembly that Quartermaster Inspector already sells. Note- Quartermaster Inspector also recently restocked a new run of their Normandy version T-5 harness and pack assemblies.The only concern is that it says that the canopy diameter is only 21 feet. Still, if you need a camouflage T-5 canopy for your airborne display, you can’t beat a brand new canopy with suspension lines at a price of 399€ (about $470 at current exchange rates). Here is a link to Quartermaster Inspector’s website where you can see photos of the canopy: https://qmi.be/parachute-canopy-ww2-cam ... ttern.html
