As there are
no flying boots in stock, I had to buy a brand new pair on ebay! Either that or my feet got wet!
Squippers/Stackers tell me that the Company (Haines and Cann) that has been making boots for the RAF since the 1919 has lost the contract. The replacement was not fit flr purpose, the old company has now ceased trading and there are no size 10s left in the system.
Goodness knows how much my £45 boots cost the chap in surplus - they were brand new in the cardboard box.
