Aviator or Automobile Attire?

Hi Guys,

I've been asked by my uncle to help ID a family photo. We are interested to learn if the clothing the gentleman is wearing is aviation related or automobile related.

If it is a flying suit is it Civilian or Military and what period is it likely to be from?

Attachment 8498

Thanks.

It appears to be a Sidcot suit with fur collar, 'B' Type RAF flying helmet and Mk III goggles.

Andy, thank you very much. Any idea of a ball park time period for this particular flying clothing to be in use.
