Is there much desire for full flying clothing amongst collectors? Sorting out all my stuff, I seem to be a little out of touch with whats in and what isnt! Escape boots (less the knife), B type Helmet, wired, goggles and late type mask. D type Gauntlets, Never did find a Mae West!!!!
Any ideas as to popularity?

Unfortunately the Blue Swallow ones are no good for a WW1 Sidcot which is what i’m currently after – working on a couple of possible sources for a highly accurate repro of a WW1 one though

Sidcot Suit? Highly desireable! Popular with Collectors and Living History Groups.
My Dad was given one by a Polish bomber pilot (Dad was an Automobile Engineer and used to repair their cars and became good friends with them)
Dad used it in the late 1940’s early 50’s whilst flying the Tiger Moth from Coventry Aerodrome, he always regretted leaving it behind!
