Type Q harnass question

Clearing out stores. What type of aircraft would a Type Q harnass be fitted to (4-point). Ref nr 6F/199. Is complete and original, so wondering what life it may have had…

AI tells me the Type Q harness was used on the Spitfire, Tempest and Typhoon. It provided a more secure restraint when compared with previous designs. It also included a quick release in case of emergency.

Sect 6F is “general personnel equipment” used by aircrew. For example harnesses, parachutes etc.
