RattlesnakeBob Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Just wondering if anyone has any interest in these uniforms?.. ..I mentioned having them a day or so ago on here but mistakenly put the post in 'aviation' instead if 'uniforms'.... I do have an excellent history to go with them.....they all belonged to the same person who saw service in Burma ,The Med and the Middle East, Burma for a second term and then back to the UK....during his service he flew just about everything you could think of up to and including Lancasters.He was a Sqd Leader of 67 and later on 619 Squadron and eventually promoted to Wing Commander winning a number of medals including the DFC and Bar along the way. Uniform 1:Battledress style tunic suit Uniform 2:Longer tunic suit Mess suit 1: RAF blue with waistcoat Mess suit 2:Formal function Black tunic with tails.

Eaglehurst Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 The two tunic suits look great. What sizes are they? Are you planning to sell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHillyard Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 the first one is very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RattlesnakeBob Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 I'll measure them up.... ...yes I will sell , make me an offer.I think the whole lot together makes a nice collection seeing as they all belonged to one man who had a helluva service history too..... ..but...I could split them all up I guess... it all depends....:cool2: I also have a very tatty B2 USAAF Groundcrew jacket...tatty is the oprative word mind you.... but it is a genuine WW2 jacket. The B2 was made specifically for USAAF ground crews....its the same as a flying jacket but money was saved in their manufacture by not having sleeve zips and by having one central zip (not a sort of double breasted style like the Irvings) and no belt....make a rather cool jacket for riding around in yer Jeep maybe ?

Sounds nice what sort of price would you be looking at for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
