Thanks for the quick reply, but it's RAF and also the wrong type of clothing. Maybe I need to make the request clearer, my apologies.
I'm looking for a clothing set (flightsuit) which is the type they wore during combat in dogfights, not military dress they would have worn in the mess.
So it's the flying suit, Goggles, Flying Helmet (again usually leather), Parachute and May West air vest.
The best example of the items required are in the top three pictures of this link and also the last picture in the link (uniform on left). This is exactly what I am looking for.
