Wore a flying suit?

[Irv Lee]

Wrong period for an Irvin I suppose

[Genghis the Engineer]

Yes, but with a collar and tie.

Probably that epitome of sartorial elegance that is the Sidcot suit.

Somebody was remaking and actually trying to flog these recently.

I mean, would you be seen? Fashion victim.

Wore a flying suit?

And a bit of leather, sometimes.

Wrong period for an Irvin I suppose

Is there a right one?

[Irv Lee]

@Genghis the Engineer great photo shop work putting your face on it! Very difficult to spot

[Rob P]

I'd never be seen in a flight suit ....

It would rather depend on whether it was in his RFC/WW1, his interwar or postwar 'Air Detective'/'Special Air Police' and/or freelance investigator, or his WW2 RAF career phases ..

Of course, the same question might be asked about Worrals

[some of my collection of both are illustrated, but do not clarify .. ]

[The Kissimmee Bum]

I want a white one like Trevor Howard’s.

When I flew in the Biggles film I wore my tan Swedish Air Force flying suit. It had ticklish fur on the inside

[PeteSpencer]

If you wear a flight suit make sure you do all the zips and fasteners up!!

And call it a FLYING suit

[Dave W]

"Romper suit" is what it's also called.

ISTR Aunty Leia calling hers (for the draughty XAir) her 'grobag'

[seanxair]

I bought one second hand and even though I fly on my own from a farm strip I'm yet to wear it in case I look like a Yak jockey.

However my flying machine is draughty and I have had a smoke in the cockpit episode a couple of years ago from a wiring issue so I really ought to use it.

Maybe I should post a photo of myself in it and get all the p1$$ taking over with before I actually do.
