Hello chaps, 
My friend John (who some of you met last year) wishes to sell his RAF flying jacket and signed Lancaster picture as a pair. 
I know it's alot of money but they do qualify as investment items which can only go up in value as time goes by. 
He will not be offering them on Ebay or any other such site , only to private collectors. That said, I offered to advertise them on our site just in case anyone is interested so here they are... 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A ‘brace’ of WW2 items for sale. The first item is an early 40/41 Irvin sheepskin flying jacket in excellent original condition, the jacket has no cuts, rips, repairs etc. And has all original working DOT zippers with Air Ministry crown. The leather is supple and the fleece does not show the usual wear at the cuffs and rear, It doesn’t seem it was heavily used at the time. It does have a very small patch of ww2 green camo paint on the collar but it’s hard to spot and seems contemporary so best left alone. An original jacket that has had no work or repairs and in this condition is now becoming difficult to find even with ‘specialists’. 
There is a faint name and squadron number on the label (L. AWL 26) but I have no information on the person. 
The second item is a very nice mounted and framed original pencil drawing, approx. 21”x17”, of a Lancaster in flight, with original signatures by the following ww2 airmen: 
MRAF Sir Michael Beetham GCB CBE DFC AFC 
Squadron leader Reg Lewis DFC 
Captain Eric M. “winkle” Brown 
Flight Sergeant John Carrington 
Flight Sergeant Ken Johnson 
Flying Officer Edgar Childs DFM 
Squadron Leader Trevor Peacock 
Squadron Leader Tony Iveson DFC AE 
Flight Lieutenant Tom Austin DCF AE 
Flight Lieutenant Harry Hughes DFC DFM AE 
Flight Lieutenant John L. Cox DFC 
Squadron Leader L.S. “Benny” Goodman 
Flight Lieutenant David Francis DFC 
Flight Sergeant Edwin Wheeler DFC 
Flight Lieutenant Gordon H. Mellor 
Flight Sergeant Jim McGillveray 
Flight Lieutenant Edwin Stocker DSO DFC 
WO Cal Younger 
Flight Engineer Arthur Smith 
WO Charlie Flint 
Ian Hunter 
Wing Commander Max Meyer DFC 
WO Alfred Hubermann 
WO Eric L. Davis 
WO Harry Irons DFC 
Laurie Godfrey 408 Sq. RCAF 
I have attached a word doc with some zoomable pictures to illustrate. Both items can be viewed in person by arrangement. 
As I said I do wish to sell both items as a pair even though not directly related, and would want £1500 total (firm), with any buyer arranging collection at their own expense from the Portsmouth UK area. 
Best Regards 
John Lloyd
