Great opportunity to see the Mark VII in use as a soldier dons his respirator in the beginning of the movie to investigate the boundaries of the contaminated area.

MOD EDIT: Sorry about that. The word censor gottcha. :TOH:

The subject title is also the title of of a movie that has been corrected. B/W, 1960 with George Sanders and alien children - You know the one I'm referring to. "Village of the Darned"

Well, if folks hadn't used the word more explicitly for other than movie titles in the past, it probably wouldn't have been put in the word filter in the first place! :TOH: Anyway, back to the bag at hand. ;)

Well, if you guys want to see a movie that has a bunch of Mark VII gas mask bags, hunt down "Enigma" with Dougray Scott and Kate Winslet. It's a great little known film about a brilliant codebreaker from Bletchley Park that is recovering from a mental breakdown during WWII. The opening sequence shows several British soldiers wearing quite familiar bags... And it's quite a good film too! Bletchley, has always been a fascinating bit of history for Brittain, and the strain these men were under trying to break the Nazi U-Boat code was intense. Highly recommended!

Win - Win if you ask me.
