Flying Suit

[ArronFrost]

Hi Guys.

I've been looking everywhere for a new flying suit but I can't seem to find one.

I'm after an RAF Flying Suit MK16A or MK14A (Olive Green) in a size 3... a size 4 will do as a last resort.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers Arron.

Ebay.....

Lots of ex-military surplus flying suits there.

A new one will cost you £££££:{

Been looking on there daily, no size 3's :(

military mart aviation, cant remember the webiste address.

thats two possibles...

I'm surprised they make a size 3? Smallest I saw at the VGS unit I was once at was a size 5.

[ArronFrost]

Mart haven't got any 3's in stock, closets they have is 2 and 5.

RAF Flying suits start at size 1, i've got a 2 atm and that is too small, need a size bigger.

Thanks mate.

...Or become a staff cadet on a VGS and you will be issued one from stores, without having to pay hard cash.

[ArronFrost]

I was planning to do a few months ago when I got my Silver wings, however my local VGS is being moved, and the nearest AEF is too far way to become flight staff there

Get yourself a proper desert camoflage/khaki/non-pink nomex suit from a well known site on the internet. You'll look nearly as good as me. :ok:

On the contrary - if you knew the characters involved, you'd know it's possibly the funniest thing I've seen in ages!

The only topic guaranteed to general more jeering than flying suits is that of epaulettes.

and there I was thinking the "P" was acronym for "Professional"

[Flintstone]

Except you're in the Private forum.

Lighten up son, you'll live longer that way ;)


Waaaay back when I were an instructor one of my colleagues launched a campaign to get the school owners to introduce baby-grows for us. Nobody wanted them least of all the CFI and bosses who were all ex-military. His suit hung on the back of his office door for months then mysteriously disappeared after a heavy night at the aero club when the sleeves and legs of his suit may have become sewn shut and filled with uncooked rice :E

And the forum is private flying.

Don't worry when I am shooting the ILS tomorrow with unsuspecting passengers down the back I will pretend to be a grown up.

Quite so...and in the spirit of doing a professional job on the jeering front, I offer you this (http://tinyurl.com/cq7qt8).

We love it - I'll be so sleepy, I may hand fly for the rush.....

Arron - prove yourself by your flying, not by how many pics you can put on facebook of yourself in a daft growbag.

[Flintstone]

I'm having trouble tying my laces.

Anyone?

[PAPI-74]

eharding-
like the link; how the hell do you do that?

Laces - nope. Got me there.:O

Damn me. If this (http://tinyurl.com/df4xjp) goes recursive, I may well may bring the Internet to it's knees. If it had knees.

[PAPI-74]

Got it - thanks. Couldn't set the link as one word though.

Let the trouble begin

If you're having one of these....

Give the kid a break.

It will be a few years before he develops the rhino skin required for playing with the old perverts in aviation.

or grows an arse hairy enough. :}

...guess where I won't be coming for advice on what to wear!! :}

[Mr Grimsdale]

Excellent photo!

I saw the skis in the club house last Sunday and was told they'd recently flown.
Bloody hooligans!

[Ten West]

I liked the flying suit with the big hose out of the back.

... Until I realised it was to pump hot water in rather than hot gases out. :sad:

I thought it would be a bit too good to be true that a flight suit had been made specially for us fans of the Pot Noodle Bombay Bad Boy. :*

I didn't know Sean Connery was a pilot .... :eek:

[PAPI-74]

Hay cambioso,

I asked the question to eharding, so why the dig?
Christ man get out more !!!!

[cambioso]

"Hey" (yuk!) PAPI
I asked the question as soon as I saw his fantastic "Google Post".
I'm in Teterboro at the moment so I guess my reply (somehow) was delayed, and should have followed his post (like yours did)................
There was no dig, the "rocket science" bit described what our thread starting hero should have done in the first place, - so ably demonstrated by Eharding.
As for the "getting out more" bit.............I manage that quite well already thanks to Mr Dassault, but I appreciate the advice all the same!!
