In 1979 I went to stores, and boy what a good job they'd done storing things. They issued me with brand new pair of long johns that had been made in 1953.

I think it's a record, but surely a Ppruner can beat it - BEagle, perhaps?
During the 1991 punch-up, boxes of kit arrived for our customers to pick from. Most highly-sought-after item was the sand-coloured, bone-buttoned windproof jackets dated 1942. Nice to see them doing Stirling service after a gap of a generation or 2.
