RAF Air gunners uniform partly reunited.

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Guys, as you probably know I am mainly a British Airborne collector, but I do have a few RAF items, all pertaining to Air gunners. (My interest here is due to my Great Uncle Sid who was an Air gunner, who was KIA in Feb. 1944 flying on Sunderland flying boats.)
The uniform shown here was sold by its original owner about 6 years ago via a newspaper advertisment in my home town. Sadly the items were split between three so called "collectors". I have managed to buy them all back and reunite them together. All are a very small size.
Cheers, Ade.

I hope that I have reunited all the uniform that is left. I beleive that his Service dress trousers were worn out post war, along with his Irving flying jacket. This was worn out, as was common with many others, motorcycling in the late 1940's/early 1950's.
If anyone has a spare pair of "VR" volunteer reserve collar dogs for sale, I would be interested?
Cheers, Ade.

Ade , a nice bit of work bring them back together , splitting things like this up seems wrong and carries with it an element of sadness and loss.
