The Flesburg map is a very rare map. Nice haul.
An unusual variant of the silk map covering Burma, Siam and Assam. I have the black and white version and the blue water variant, however, this one is blue on one side and black on the other!
Another very rare blue aerogramme paper map. It is sheets D (covering Southern France) and H (covering Spain). It is printed on Imperial Air Mail paper.
It is not clear how many were printed on aerogramme paper. They are unusual, not only because of the paper they were printed on, but also because the manufacturer of the paper can be seen.
An RAF / Air Ministry snakebite lancet. Made by George Carsburg Co., London. It has removable end caps that unscrew to reveal a small metal blade/lancet and a void that contained a potassium permangenate capsule. The blade could be used to cut out the venom from a snake bite and the potassium permangenate applied to the wound. These were issued as part of the contents of the tropical survival kit and also part of the kit included with the 'Beadon' flying suit (which I am yet to get my hands on!).
