RAF 36 Pattern boots, size 10 Battle of Britain, Unworn

Very Scarce reproductions by Aero Leather of Scotland,
I am offering here a Beautiful pair of 36 Pattern RAF  boots in a good size 10.  These boots are the classic boots from the Battle of Britain These are a pair of boots that that were made about 10 years ago by Aero Leather Clothing of Galashiels in Scotland. They have long since stopped making these. The production costs were too prohibitive to make it a viable proposition. From recall they retailed at some where close to £400! These were purchased and have never been worn! So a rare opportunity to get a pair of New ’36 Pattern boots! They really are an incredibly beautiful manafactured item.  All in all a beautiful pair of the very desirable RAF  boots from the Battle of Britain era.. I hope my pictures do justice, please let me know if you require any further pictures.  There is no reserve and a £1 starting price, they will sell to the highest bidder!!! Bellow is a very brief history of flying boots in the RAF.

Following on from the pre-war 1930 and 1936 Pattern boots which were used in the earlier period of the Second World War, a further four patterns were developed during the conflict. The 1939 pattern (22/C 225-233) was a one-piece boot with a black leather shoe and brown/khaki canvas calf section with sheepskin lining. This was the pattern worn by the majority of Royal Air Force aircrew until the introduction of the 1940 Pattern boot (22/C 435-442). The latter comprised a one-piece rubber soled, brown suede sheepskin-lined boot with a zip-fastener. However the 1940 Pattern proved to be unpopular with fighter pilots: the boot was so loose when worn that 'downed' pilots often found that their footwear would fall off whilst descending by parachute. As a remedy leather ankle straps were fitted and the boot was re-designated the 1941 Pattern (22C/748-755). In spite of this modification the boots still remained unpopular for the same reason. The 1943 Pattern 'Escape' boots were based on the designs of Major Clayton Hutton at MI9, being field-tested as early as 1942. Consisting of a black leather laced walking shoe and a black zip-up suede legging, the basic principle was simple: in the event of landing in enemy territory, the wearer would separate the leggings from the shoe by using the folded pocket knife that was held in the pocket in the right boot. It was believed that the walking shoe would be less conspicuous and more comfortable than a conventional flying boot for an attempted evasion. The design remained in service with the RAF until the mid-1950s.

So here we have the ideal pair of boots to compliment your Spitfire, Hurricane, Lancaster or I guess if you must you  P-38 lightning, P-47 Thunderbolt, P-40 Kityhawk, P-51 Mustang!

Lastly I will ship anywhere in the world, I am happy to use any carrier, as a rule I find DHL works well, price for shipping will be at cost no more no less.  Ebay's shipping calculator seems to come up with very interesting and unattainable figures, so please ignore all reference to shipping costs!! The quoted figure of £1 is purely to fill a gap!

I will always leave feedback when the same is received, lastly if you have any problems or questions please let me know.

Good luck and happy bidding,
