About 10 years ago at Cosford show there used to be a chap who flogged a bit of surplus(mostly clothing) off of a couple of trestle tables.
One of the gems he had were a couple of small boxes of pairs of used RAF issue white aircrew gloves.
You had to rummage a bit to find a pair that fit you.Some pairs only had light damage,i.e a small hole or tear in one finger,say,but a 3 quid a pair they were’nt a bad bargain when you consider the price of a new pair on E-Bay these days.
