chevpol Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 ok folks, time to prod the collective brain cell, does anybody know if anybody makes a large crown raf beret, size 7&1/2? Also anybody got the same size RAF hat from the 1950's? TTFN Mark PS, would the Airtex 4 pocket shirt advertised on the Soldier of Fortunes site be used by national service men in Aden etc?

wdbikemad Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) It may be a case of Ebay or asking SOF if they can source some.....the larger crown RAF beret would probably not be as sought after as similar army-issue patterns.......Sabre Sales in Southsea may be able to assist with both beret and cap...? (they had loads of the latter new in boxes about 15 years ago now)..... Long-established Air Cadet units may also be worth approaching.....some still retain long-obsolete items in deep-storage...... Much wartime RAF kit soldiered on in use throughout the 1950s and early 60s........some army pattern stuff was used although the RAF had their own KD bush jacket with belt and distinctive upper 3-pointed pocket flaps.....
