Stores reference 22c/1963.  Suits, Flying, Cotton Gaberdine, Blue/Grey, Mk.4/4A.  Size 6, height 68-72", weight greater than 174lbs.  Blue-grey ventile one-piece flying suit with a two-way zip fastening from crotch to the neck, angled zipped chest pockets, zipped ankle openings and side entry pockets on both sides at the waist.  Button/tab adjustable cuffs and buckled straps at the waist.  Flapped pockets with button closures on the lower legs and left thigh.  Zip fastened map/note pad pocket on the right thigh and a pen pocket on the upper left arm.  With stitched epaulettes.  Integral internal braces help alleviate the weight of the suit when worn.  The cloth is in very good condition, generally quite clean and aside from a small hole at the back of the left arm, appears to be undamaged.  All zips are original and function correctly.  Full labelling with the name 'Street' and 1958 date.  Evidence of a squadron patch having been removed from the right breast.  It's nice to find an unmodified version of this suit, as some had all their buttons removed, buttonholes sewn up and replaced with Velcro.  A very good example.  Stock code S27066.
