UK stores reference numbers, 22C series
Latest update 10 March 2010

This is a guide to RAF stores reference numbers applied sequentially to flying clothing officially issued to RAF aircrew up to 1965. All flying clothing has a 22C prefix. After 1965 the RAF adopted the American inspired NATO stock number (NSN) system in the following format 8475-99-130-0182 (stock number for a pair of Mk.6C anti-g trousers, size large). For national use the 22C systems is still applied using the last seven digits of the NSN. Thus the national stores reference for the large Mk.6C anti-g trousers is 22C/1300182.

Vaseline vs Petroleum Jelly

Vaseline and petroleum jelly are often mistaken for being the same thing but what people do not know is that Vaseline and petroleum jelly still have distinct differences that many people are not aware of. Vaseline is widely known as a brand name of petroleum jelly and that is actually a fact. Although their differences may be not that noticeable, they do still exist.

I can see the logic of the extra 6 months now but how are the MOT centres going to cope with having what would have been April's testing now due in October and the vehicles that are due annually in October? Perhaps I have missed something, and for the next 12 months all MOTs will be extended.
