Hi all I tried to post on the forum last night but unfortuneately it would upload. so lets hope this time it does!! I'm Mick, live in Colchester, Essex, & have a keen interest in Irvin Flying Jackets.

Hi, i'm looking for some help to identify & evaluate what i believe to be a ww2 flying jacket. It has what i believe to be heating wires in the sleeves with a 2 prong plug about 6 inches up the sleeve with a heavy duty press stud below it about 2 inches up the sleeve. It has 8 vent holes under each arm. The zips have DOT on them with MADE IN ENGLAND around it in a circular manner. On the label is..... The Crown with A.M. underneath it. Running beside the crown is the letters B.81864/40/C.I.D. With a small stitched in label (approx 5mm square) with a red 6. on it. The red 6 is larger than all the other numbers & the same size as the A.M. What exactly is the significance of the numbers? Many thanks in advance. Mick.
