Exercise Blue 02

You are currently airborne in an Airbus A400M Atlas.
Being a new build aircraft, the RAF has acquired the plane by the cheapest means, and is treating it the same way. You are the guinea pig load.
The pilot has just made an announcement over the intercom that the plane has developed a fatal fault and is going to crash land. The aircraft’s only saving grace is that the glide angle is VERY good, and the aircraft will not hit the ground for another 20 minutes.
In 15 minutes time, you must abandon ship, along with whatever equipment you can take with you, by parachute. There are however only a limited number of parachutes (another cost saving measure), so although there are enough for all of you and the crew, should they so desire, there are only 6 others onto which you can hang equipment to drop with you to aid your survival.
You must decide in the next 15 minutes which equipment from the aircraft manifest to take with you.
