Hi Guys
This has been posted before, but since this is one of the few threads we currently have showing original jackets , I hope you don’t mind if I post it again . An Aero 21996 . The wrong knits were replaced with period correct, rust colored knits . It also has the original bright
Crown zip . The size tag was removed by some Putts , but it’s a size 46 .

Most of the jackets posted in this thread have been seen before. I think you’re on pretty solid ground to show off this beauty.

Here are my three American origionals, again they have been posted elsewhere but some members may have not seen them.
The B3 with the nametag is to my mind the most interesting, although it is not in the best condition I believe it to have been issued to a C47 pilot who was one of the first to perish during operation Albany dropping Paratroopers over Normandy on D Day.
The other B3 is very good and wearable as is the Anj 4, but the storm flap is missing and the zip is a replacement.

Those are great jackets . Are they for display only or are they wearable on occasion .

Thanks for your comments, I like to wear them occasionally, the Hamblin B3 is too small for me. I think it deserves to be placed in a museum somewhere, I approached the curator at the airborne museum in St Mere Eglise but at the time we couldnt reach an agreement regarding its procurement ( I asked a minimal amount to cover my outlay for its restoration).

Thanks!, the first B3 is the Hamblin Jacket , Natalie very kindly found his picture for me last year after several years of failed searches by myself .Thanks again Natalie.

The fact that youve been able to attribute it to a pilot who flew and lost his life on D-Day , should be something that they would be interested in having in their museum , I would have thought .

I thought so to !, but I am in no rush to part with it.
