About this item

An original 1947 Dated Royal Air Force Ordinary Airman’s Tunic in a size No 5. Whilst this tunic is dated 1947 it is identical to those worn throughout the Second World War by all RAF airmen up to the rank of Flight Sergeant as both a working dress and a walking out uniform.This particular example features brass Kings crown RAF buttons and early wartime period embroidered eagle badges to the top of each sleeve and leading aircraftman rank badges aer fitted below this. Inside the jacket retains its original issue label which states the size as 5 which is intended to fit a 36-37″ chest and 33″ waist. Below this is the 1947 date and the War Department broad arrow. The manufacturer’s name of ‘B Bloom Ltd’ is also present. The original owner has added his serial number to the label and there is also a War Department acceptance stamp which is surmounted by the letter ‘R’ which denotes 1948. When laid flat the tunic measures – Chest – 18 1/2″Inside arm – 18 1/2″Outside arm – 25 1/2″Shoulders – 15 1/2″Length at rear – 30″The tunic is in good condition for its age and overall displays well. It is still a nice, deep RAF blue colour with no signs of serious wear or use. Overall it is a nice example but please take time to study the pictures before purchasing as this is a vintage item which may have small issues commensurate with age. This could suit a reenactor or collector well and will make a good stand-in for a war dated example.

This is a vintage item which is ‘sold as seen’
