Sounds like the guy who shot down a Zero over NG with a Wirraway.

Yeees, that's why I said it was Commonwealth flight gear. I think Ron might be right...

"Who Am I"?

Er... a prehistoric Brokeback Mountain cowboy? Born too early, I think. Already said, I know, but these boots are ridiculous. I hope he was not using this "uniform" [especially the boots] when he was invited to Buckingham Palace...

I would like to think he acquired them from a game of poker, but in that environment, they would be warmth at altitude, and keep scorpions away on the ground.
Besides, cannot hit rudder bar pedals and brakes too well in your bare feet!

m10bob, yes, I guess pilots need these boots when they fly. But why in the world he thought he should be using a "summer uniform" along with these boots is a mystery to me.

Because he's got a pair of coveralls over his arm.

And because he's on standby (note "tin hat" helmet on back of bag) and its f**king hot. On the ground.
