Not a military uniform-this is a British Overseas Airways Corporation uniform from the 1950's period. Was your grandfather, perhaps a war-time pilot who hired on with the B.O.A.C. after the war ended?

It's an interesting piece of kit.
BOAC always reminds me of the DH Comet and the square window saga.Much learnt from that design fault,square vs round windows in commercial jet aircraft and fatigue cracking problems associated.
