14. WW2 RAF Pilot

There were many changes to the individual items used by RAF pilots during the Second World War. Each flying hat, pair of goggles, oxygen mask, jacket and "Mae West" has its own story... so I'm holding fire on giving you chapter and verse on this one until I get it from Kirt, the re-enactor who modelled for me for this painting. Needless to to say, there will be those will find fault, not least Kirt himself.
