Sif inspeksie bed. We set this up in a hurry just to show very roughly how an inspection bed had to be laid out. No airs and graces just in case any corporal came in and found the smuggled in camera. Note yellow duster stuck into kas with toothpaste used in place of glue! Also overalls hanging up above head of bed.
