WW2 RAF 1940 PATTERN SIDCOT FLYING SUIT Sz4 - BATTLE OF BRITIAN

WW2 RAF 1940 PATTERN SIDCOT FLYING SUIT. A really nice example of the Battle of Britain period 1940 pattern Sidcot flying suit, as worn by pilots and aircrew. This suit being the 1940 pattern Sidcot, it has no accommodation for any electrically heated gloves or bootees. It simply is a flying suit that would have been worn over service dress, and also worn often with a quilted liner.  

This example is in good used condition. It really is a nice one, and it does look better than the photos suggest. The green material of the suit is in good condition. Without any major damage, the only issue we can see is 2 small tears next to the rear adjustment belt. Please see the photos, they are only approximately 5mm or so. Some light soiling and fading, but nothing too bad. The main zip is working, but could do with some gentle lubrication. Marked to the puller with an A.M. crown mark. The rest of the suit's zips are also in good working condition. Again, all are marked with an A.M. crown mark. On the reverse, we find the adjustable belt once again in good condition without issue. The suit has been fitted with a size 4 fur collar. Without any damage, loss of buttons, or fur, a very nice collar! Inside, we find the suit has its label, marked as a size 4 with details just below. Just above is an A.M. crown ink stamped just above the label, with further inspection stamps and an A.I.D mark.

Overall, a lovely example of this Battle of Britain era suit. One of the nicer examples we have had, suitable for a Battle of Britain display, RAF museum, collection, or reenactor.
