Flying suit question
Afternoon all
Looking like I've managed to get myself a flight or two in a JP5 in a few weeks and need to get myself a flying suit. I've had a quick browse online (Ebay, surplus stores etc etc) and wondered if some could A/ explain the sizing (of RAF suits) and B/ tell me how likely I am to find a nice large one available second hand? Most of those I've seen online won't even be closing to fitting I don't think! I'm 6' tall, hardly svelte while not obese and quite broad-shouldered. I'll leave it there before it sounds like a lonely-heart ad, but any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks G |
size 8
Arc |
size 9!
Dont ask about how the sizing works, everyone who ever found out had to be shot! Regards Xraf:ok: |
I'd go with the 9 from your description, the 8 would probably be too neat!
|
size 1-3 shortarse........... sveltest/fairly svelte/svelte
size 4-6 average height.... " / " / " size 7-9 > @ 6' .............. v tight/tight/comfy Good to do a bending at the knee/crouching exercise while trying on so as to ensure adequate gonad clearance!! :\ |
I`ve got a spare large suit - willing to loan if you can`t buy one for yourself - any chance of a trip !
|
Thanks folks!
Dominoe - I'll let you know! |
I'm 6' 1", 14.5 stones, and a size 8 fits fine.
Drop me a PM if you need a loan. |
