FLIGHT 12 JUNE 1959 NATURAL SURVIVAL <R**» SERIES 3 Mr. Chuckwalla IS AN EXPERT ON INFLATION Natural pneumatics is his main protection and thus this wily lizard—or to give him his proper title, Sauromalus obesus—can survive the hunger hunt of large birds of prey wheeling over the American deserts. He wears his scaly coat very, very slack and takes his siestas on the hot rocks with an eye cocked to the burning sky. Danger! Hawk? Chuck doesn't wait. He throws himself into the nearest crevice and inflates. His hide anchors fast against the rock walls and the strongest taions cannot budge him. Environment and will to survive have equipped the Chuckwalla— naturally. Not so fortunate, perhaps, are the aircraft, the airlines of the world. But there's R.F.D. and R.F.D. 'safety' equipment to bridge that gap—as everyone should know! HIR/SEH SURVIVAL INFLATABLE LIFERAFTS, LIFEJACKETS AND OTHER AERONAUTICAL EQUIPMENT ARB and MOS Design Approved R.F.D. COMPANY LIMITED • GODALMING ' SURREY • TELEPHONE: GODALMING 1441 Also in N. Ireland, Australia, Canada, Africa, Holland, Sweden, France, Denmark, Germany, Norway.
