That was the one with internal straps and leather handles? Sadly mice got at mine an nibbled a hole in it. Got a new standard one from Stores in mufti style, ie bog standard RAF design in dark brown. Just like a pusser's suitcase, you could identify a sailor or airman a mile off. I got to keep mine too.
I now have a proper civilian one in discrete white with pale blue edging and Ventura writ large. It is same size but has wheels and retractable handle.
