RAF Uniforms - What To Do With Them

[maxburner]

Does anyone know of any organisation that collects used RAF officers' uniforms? I have a No 1 and a Mess Kit, in pretty fair shape, which I'm looking to dispose of. I left the Service in 97 and I can't see any way I'll need them again. I'd like them to get re-used if possible, but not being sentimental about these things they'll get dumped in a few days to lighten the load when I move house.

They'd suit an athletic, rugged 6 footer with a deep manly chest of about 44 inches diameter and a lithe waist of about 34 inches. That's who they were made for, but I have them now.

PM me if they are of any use to you.

You could contact your nearest ATC Wing HQ - I'm sure they'd find a wearer who'd put them to good use.

The Air Cadet Organisation Web Site should help.

With a circumference of 11 feet 6 inches the original owner must have been absolutely gianormous.

Pontius, Imagine my red face! Thank you for pointing out my error.

Pilot, obviously

MB, you have a PM...

You could probably flog them on Ebay for a few quid, there is always people out there looking for that uniform thing

[Beatriz Fontana]

KeepItTidy, students going on University Challenge, perchance?

[Wensleydale]

Or Stephen Fry for wearing on QI? I notice that after the furore caused by the Student on UC wearing an item of uniform, the airwaves are distinctly silent about Fry wearing an officers' No1 SD hat for part of this week's show (admittedly with a King's Crown).

Thanks for all the responses and interest ( and correction) but I think I've located a good home for them.

I gave mine (and my Omani kit) to the local thespians. I believe they made good use of them.

Oh 'Thespians'. Ah, I thought you said....

I'll get my coat.

[Dengue_Dude]

I gave mine to Doncaster Aviation Museum as they had a 'thing' about Finningley at the time.

I don't miss it.

You could always give them to the circus for another bunch of clowns to wear.

TD, hard to tell, I would go 50-50 on that one, then ask a friend.

As long as you don't 'Ring' one, Pontius.
