Genuine RAF Mk1 Aircrew flying boots.
These where the latest RAF/Navy issue flying boots until the Government spending cuts which resulted in the closure of factory.

Sizes available are UK 2 to UK13.
Sized in the Euro Mondo sizing system.
Condition: New.
Supplied boxed with laces.
Last stocks as no longer made.
Cost the MoD over £200 per pair, due to the cost & quality of materials & workmanship

For those with FootRot in the troppostate
.Following recent trends in the ADF, I think the only thing holding back the issue of those high-heeled boots is the fact that they would damage the aircraft floor!

NutLoose & Background Noise, it's no surprise is it? Had 'our' hands forced to give our boots to Valley, only to find control restrictions with larger sizes of the alternate.. doh. At least on Civvie Street we can look elsewhere. Bloke in the pub said new ones were inbound (with the new cold weather jacket..) but you might have to wait a bit longer..

Those RAF boots are probably the ones that went down with the Atlantic Conveyor.
Must admit, if they ever raised that vessel, a lot of people would have to find some other excuses for where all that stuff went .....
