Selling No 1s and No 5s

I'm sure it's been discussed before, but I'm looking to sell my uniform as I'm shortly leaving. Snaithes and the Stn Tailor at Cranwell no longer sell on second-hand uniform. Apart from the obvious (eBay) where would fellow PPruners recommend selling their kit?

Thanks in advance.

The forum AA suggested is a good bet.

eBay also a good idea.

Whilst you're at it, perhaps you could PM me the size, condition,rank etc.

As a VRT officer, I'm in the market.

Cheers

DF.

If you're about 5'10" and circa 15 stone then I might be in the market as well.

What a shame that Ernie Bedford's in Newark is no longer with us. Got a second hand greatcoat from there many years ago. Perhaps there is a gap in the market..... PPrune Sales and Wants anybody?

What's a No 5? I've still got my No1 and two No2s. One of the 2s is blue serge, Pilot Officer with wings (King's Crown) and the other is a trial version with zip pockets on the blouse. A bit moth-eaten but you will stand out from the crowd. You will have to wait until I get back to the UK.
