Ultra rare RAF air ventilated suit. Manufactured by GQ parachute company in 1958 and more commonly known as the fairy suit. Produced to alleviate the discomfort of high aircraft cockpit temperatures by conveying moving air to the wearer's skin through a number of tubes spread over the surface. Worn in conjunction with an outer flying suit such as the Mk.2 & 2a in the Lightning and other jet aircraft. Also used to make Dr. Who cybermen in the earlier days and worn by the fabulous Kate Bush in the video for her song 'The Dreaming', from the album of the same name, released in 1982. #raf #fairysuit #flyingsuit #jetage #1950s #vintageclothing #historicflyingclothingcompany #aircrew #pilot #flying #aviation #gqparachute #parachute #englishelectriclightning #drwho #cybermen #katebush #thedreaming #ktbush #katebushcollection #babushkate

This aircraft was in service for 15 years flying with 19 and 92 squadrons. Now on display at the National Museum of Flight, East Fortune, Scotland. #RAF #englishelectriclightning #englishelectric #lightning #coldwar #supersonicflight #supersonicjet #jet #jetfighter #fighteraircraft #mach2 #1960s #pilot #fighterpilot #airmuseum #historicflyingclothingcompany #19squadron #92squadron #warbird #aviation #vintagejet

De Havilland Dragon. These were used by many airlines in the 1930s with a capacity of just 6 passengers. Amy Johnson and her husband Jim Mollison attempted the world distance record in one taking off from Wales and flying to America. After various mishaps hey ran out of fuel just short of the record. This particular aircraft was built in 1942. After the war it was used in Australia in the Northern Territory by the Aerial Medical Service and later by the Reverend Nixon for the Outback Patrol, a Christian community service. Now on display at the National Museum of Flight, East Fortune, Scotland. #dehavilland #dragon #airlines #airliner #deHavillanddragon #scottishairline #airmuseum #amyjohnson #flying #aviation #flyingdoctors #1930s #1940s #vintageaircraft #historicflyingclothingcompany

Pre fabricated concrete air raid shelter at East Fortune airfield in Scotland. These were scattered around the base for use of personnel. Sadly now infilled but at least not destroyed or removed. #ww2 #eastfortune #raf #rafstation #airmuseum #airbase #airraidshelter #shelter #bombshelter #waaf #historicflyingclothingcompany #vintagebuilding #1940s #nationalmuseumofflight #blastshelter

AEC Matador 4x4 truck. 9000 of these were built and used by all three services. They had 7.6 litre diesel engines and were capable of carrying a 10 tonne load, albeit with a top speed of just 30mph. RAF versions were used to transport loads and personnel with 4x4 capability making it suitable for use in grass airfields. This example was used in Malta during WW2 and is now on display at the National Museum of Flight at East Fortune in Scotland. Seen here in an original wartime airfield building. #ww2 #raf #rafstation #truck #vintagetruck #vintagevehicles #AEC #lorry #airbase #matador #aecmatador #airmuseum #historicflyingclothingcompany #airfield #1939 #militaryvehicle
