Flight Suit with Surprise

[edelweiss123]

Bought this flight suit at a bootsale today for a cheeky little price. I don't think that the patches are original, but when i got it back to the car i could feel something in what i thought was a pocket. Turned out to be this 91 dated Air crew Knife which was a very pleasant surprise, attached in its pocket behind the leg. Not a bad find i think

Im wondering what you guys think about the patches?

Very nice! They're nice little knives in my opinion.

Very nice, I too have one of those knives (although I'm on the hunt for the patch) They're quite sought after by special forces collectors as the SAS attached them to their assault vests to use in the event of getting tangled up in abseiling equipment.

Thanks

Nice find! Strangely I also picked up a flying suit at a car boot but all I found in the pockets were notams, maps, Tutor pilots notes and a pair of gloves! No patches at all

Thanks for the comments! There were a few loose patches in one of the pockets, do you guys think they are later additions?
