Thanks for your support all, it has been a risk and I am still in for a big chunk of money, I think it will be at least another couple of years before I see a return.
there are many things we want to add, such as a decent flight jacket, some fire resistant Flying boots and create some 'cool' clothing, so annoyed that Superdry have brought out an 'Aeronaut' range, that was one of the names we discounted (Forum pedants might have pointed out the ballooning connection....) but it does mean that Aviation clothing can be classed as cool if done right
