Halifax & Lancaster crew parachutes?

Hello folks

Please can anyone tell me what sort of Irvin parachutes were used by Halifax & Lancaster crews in 1944?

Do you know the model numbers, size and mounting methods?

I want to find out, or work out, how long it would take to descend by parachute from different heights.

Many thanks

Robert
