....parachutes!

Picked up this chute yesterday,not one that I've come across before so wondering if it could be from the new(ish) L15A1 40x46mm parachute illuminating grenade?
The chute is made from a 'rip stop' material,silk???,and is about the same size as a chute from the L12A2 hand held para flare.
No markings apart from on the 'shrink tube' which I'm sure is only to do with the temperature that the tube shrinks.
Any ideas chaps?


Cheers
Tony

Tony,

You are correct about the markings on the heatshrink tubing.

T&B are Thomas & Betts, who are heatshrink manufacturers. They are a US company, but their products are sold worldwide.

Regards,

Will.
