Walk away from the RAF set up, late/post war helmet in not very good condition and with torn leather by the comms plug, late/post war MK VIII goggles in poor condition and a post war H type mask. The mask isn't even the wartime pattern, it's the second pattern which was sixties/seventies (ish).

That's really interesting, i have an original Boulton Paul Defiant watercolour by this artist that i bought a very long time ago (from America) and i tried to find out more about him but with no success.

You need the serial number on the movement to be able to date it, never mind.

What's the serial number on the Omega movement ?

All i can say is that all seven of the umbilicals on my Irvin suit are overlock stitched, four on the trousers and three on the jacket.

I`m not sure that the umbilical lead shown is original. Originals are sewn with an overlock stitch and that doesn't look like it is.

That's the strap from a pair of RAF 40 pattern chemical gloves.

Unfortunately not. I have sent Mark an email regarding a new build Cable A2 from his site but I'm waiting for a reply.

PM sent.

I think that's my old one.

I have a couple of RAF Weems watches but ill probably let this one go.

USAAF Longines Weems watch.

Excellent pictures, some really good flying clothing shots there.

I`ll have a measure when i get a chance. I have an original plug for the main umbilical if you're interested ?

Thanks for the info, ill get on to Ken to get one made.
