Booted off
A pair of RAF escape boots. They had a knife concealed in the lining which allowed any airmen who had to bale out over enemy territory to cut the top off to convert them into ordinary looking civilian shoes. Amazing ingenuity. I've been to a local and newly discovered museum this weekend.
Truly ingenious! x
