The jacket itself is the precursor to the now well known GP bomber jacket. This older 1972 pattern design is cut in a style fitting to the time, with 2 slanted zipper pockets for storage and a front zipper closure. It is made of an all wool material in the beautiful RAF blue colour. The wool of course offering wind and water resistance in the middling to summer months. The jacket is a great piece of history without being exceptionally ornate as the stunning dress jackets usually are, but certainly showcase well a rich life in the field.
