Thought I'd offer this here before putting on eBay.

This is a RNZAF Pilot Officer's Service Dress uniform dating from the mid 1950s to early 1960s. This is tailored by Advance Tailors of Newton, Auckland and is in excellent condition. Originally badged as a navigator I added original 1950s RNZAF pilot's wings, however I will include the original navigator's wings with this on purchase.

RNZAF full uniforms from this period are exceedingly rare and this is a superb example in a popular size. These are rarer than RNZAF WWII examples and tailored examples like this even more so.

It has a small cigarette burn on the back upper right leg but this is repairable according to my local tailor.

I am asking $(AUS)250 + postage.

As mentioned this is a very seldom seen air force uniform from this period and would be an excellent addition to the collection of a serious air forces militaria collector.

Will post worldwide.

Measurements are as follows:

TUNIC

Shoulder to shoulder: 18''
Back (from base of collar to bottom): 30.5''
Pit to pit: 18.5''
Sleeve length: 24.5''

TROUSERS
