I got my flying suit back after servicing to find the pocket had not been stiched back up. I handed it back in for repair to be told some days later that it was now scrapped. I suggest that the shortage might be due to certain individuals who can't be ar$ed to repair stuff as it is obviously easier to scrap it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" /> .. .. .I too would like a variety of coloured flying suits depending on the environment I am operating in at the time.. .. .I wear flying suit most of the time on the sqn, as I have been called on to fly for someone at very short notice more than once.

Lads n lassies, was having a look at a link on another thread for mart aviation (www.mart-aviation.co.uk)...check out the number of "new and unissued" growbags they seem to have (for most airforces it seems, not just ours). Think on...just direct your friendly unit squippers to their website!

Hi bad livin. You earning a decent living yet?. .. .Back to the thread.... a certain 2002 display pilot has been recently fitted for his suit by a particular manufacturer who admitted to having loads of the new and apparently 'USAF -ish' type suits almost ready for dispatch. But guess what?..... they haven't been payed yet. Maybe theres no cash until 1 April.. .. .Also its not just coveralls, its anything. eg. socks, jockeys, thermals, boots, goon bags and parts, and my new Mk10 dome that we dont have. This cant be all due to non aircrew wearing it. Non aircrew wouldn't wear those awfull Y-front long johns if they knew they lurked under most bunny suits.. .. .Anyone still wondering why we have a need for ARR FRIs?
