Oct. 06, 1960 - They call it The Frankenstein Look - New style outift for pilots in trouble.: Looking rather like a gigantic frog - 33 year old Stuart Sullivan receive a welcome cup of tea - as he tests out one of the now Life-Saving Exposure Suits designed and by Frankenstein and Sons of Manchester. The suit is specially designed for pilots who have to bale out over the sea. It has a layer of air inside so that the pilot can make his own bed - and lie on it - quite confortable - until help comes. Stuart is one of the two men who tests the suits by freezing in them in minus 50 deg. C, . and roasting in them at 70 deg.C
