ADF flight boots
Hi there,
Can anyone tell me which boots are standard issue in the the Australian defence force for pilots? Cheers. |
...and if you have some spare boots can you send them to UK MoD?:E

RAF Current issue Mk1 flying boots, black soft leather. Superb quality New | eBay And I quote from the advert 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. We have a small limited quality available of the last MoD order made. 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 |
I thought this was more the Oz Military style :E

Spaz
You even get told to take a pair of thongs on Military courses - well some :O SaSless Look up Moccasins :O http://cdn2.atwestfield.com/img_resi..._1000x1000.jpg |
Suitable hosiery and support infrastructure also required for #6 :E
|
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! |
Yep, there would be limitations in the MRH-90 with those, unless modded with suitable load spreaders.

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..:E

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 ..... |
