If I remember correctly this jacket sold around a year ago and it did not have a lining.
I think the cuffs, waistband, lining, tag and collar are brand new.

Looks like might be G/B liner and knits.

Original Gordon & Ferguson m-422a jackets had the oversized left pocket; this one doesn't.

I asked the seller, the knits, mouton, lining and tag are Eastman leather.

Looks like a new zip too. That must have cost a small fortune! I wonder how he got the label off of them? (Eastman) I tried to buy a star A-2 label from them just last week, and got a flat NO from Mr Eastman himself! :x
The jacket looks a bit like a G-1 with those collar tips being more rounded than hooked, like the M-422as I have seen.

I got a tag from aero leather for $10. They were really nice about it. All they wanted to know was see pics of my original Aero without the Label. shipping was free also

NAVY Air Base, NAVY Airport, a place where Aircraft are parked and fly from when the carrier is ashore. Also a lot of supply logistics are performed there. Jacksonville is in Florida.

You're right. I just compared it to pics of my old G & F. G & F's also had USN embossed into the back of the collar in Silver with a completely different font. The knits also have a distinctive grey hue to them. It's not a Gordon & Ferguson.

I am sure this jacket was around in London back in 1980 period, certainly that painting looks real familiar; if it was then Ken had it for sale in his Thrift Shop if I recall....
