It's a beauty isn't it, a great photo - is that a Beaufighter in the background? And now I'm off to see how my B3 fits over my A2, I'll never match that panache though!

With the collar on an A-2, an A-1 might be better.

It is certainly a most skilfully composed picture with what appears to be a Beaufighter in the background. The mid War Irvin is a good fit. Now I know what to do when it is really cold in the UK-wear a B3 over an A2.

did someone of you have data about US pilot or crewmember serving in Coastal Command (RAF RAAF RCAF)????
and is it imaginable (possible) to see a US guy wearing an Irvine with yellow hood in such a unit?????
many thanksssssssssss

Quality photos Bevan, thanks for the link- Irvin heaven. It's a shame other Sqn's (such as your Dad's) don't have such excellent photographic archives.

B-3 over an A2 now that means one is really cold. Thanks for the photos.

Our ace advisor for the Northwest Friends of the Fighter Aces is Jim "Lou" Luma, who was a night fighter ace with the 418 Sq. RCAF. I have listened to him tell stories several times and you can find a picture of him and some squad mates standing in front of Lou's Mosquito here, where he is wearing an Irvin.
