Fighter pilots during World War II did not wear pressure suits like they do today. Until the latter part of World War II, the standard issue flight suit was the same for all airmen, bomber crews and fighter pilots alike. Like the flyers of the bomber, a fighter pilot would layer up with coveralls, flight jacket, and trousers if he was flying in cold weather. However, the fighter pilot's typical uniform usually consisted of nothing more than his uniform and a set of coveralls because the fighter planes were not flying as long a mission at the high altitudes of the bombers, so the extra layers were not necessary.
By the end of World War II, with the development of the jet engine and advancement in fighter technology, the Army Air Force introduced Anti-G Suits. Predecessors to pressure suits, Anti-G Suits were accepted as standard issue in November 1944 to fighter pilots throughout the Amy Air Force. These suits usually tied tightly around the waste and abdomen of the pilot and were fitted with bladders that, when pressurized, press on the legs and abdomen, preventing blood from pooling there. Thus, the brain is supplied with a sufficient amount of oxygen, which allowed fighter pilots to maneuver their aircraft at a more efficient level. Although fighter pilots primarily wore similar flight suits to those of bomber crews throughout World War II, they did have new technology like the Anti-G sSuit by the end of the war that allowed them to operate their aircraft at a higher efficiency.

An intact and well preserved heavy anti-aircraft (HAA) battery to the south west of Lavernock Point, South Wales. The battery was scheduled in 1995 and is "of national importance for its potential to enhance our knowledge of World War II anti-aircraft and coastal defence practices."
It is often incorrectly described as Lavernock Fort, this anti-aircraft battery dates form the Second World War, while the coastal artillery fort, operational from 1870, is now almost completely obscured by the holiday park which now sits on the site. See my other album with images of what remains of the fort.
There were four heavy gun positions, in two pairs, each would have held a 3.7in quick firing (QF) gun. Two of the positions are the standard pattern reinforced concrete, octaganal in shape, with six ready use ammunition lockers. The remaining two positions were of simpler earth bank construction. The front (sea facing) walls of the emplacements have been fitted with steel doors to allow for depressed firing of the guns in an anti-ship role.
References are made to a 40mm Bofors gun being on site but I don't think this had a fixed position and may have either been sited on one of the 3.7in positions or in the mobile role been deployed on its road carriage.
A sunken magazine for bulk ammunition storage is between the two concrete positions, surrounded by a blast wall. Inside there are five bays that would have stockpiled ammunition to resupply the guns above.
The command post is the most interesting of the structures. Semi-sunken, the seven room building would have served as the command and control centre fo the battery as well as a rest area for the crews when not manning the guns.
There are a few bays on the outside of the command post which would have mounted equipment such as a range finder, height finder, and other instrumentation.
All structures have been recently secured and access isn't possible with the exception of the command post where a panel has been removed and it's possible get inside.
