WWII RAF seat cushion ID's

Can anyone ID either of these cushions I picked up a while ago? I think the greenish one could be from a rear turret. Both look very old and of WWII vintage. They are stuffed with horsehair (I hope that is what it is).

Cheers

Nice pictur Mike . I wonder if there would ever be a way to find out the history on your turrets? Would be neat if they had combat history.

I was thinking FN120/121. When I read this thread on the weekend there were a few more pictures. One picture showed the greenish cushion with four snap studs on the bottom, but the distance from the edges of the cushion to the snap studs looked greater than those on the seat of the FN121.

Hi Elliot,

What size is that left hand one, and does it have four poppet studs attached? Might be FN4

Cheers,
John

Hmm – seems to be a problem with piccies – I can still view them by clicking on the picture box. It’s too late to fix it now, but if it’s still not working tomorrow i’ll re-post them.
