    22C is an obsolete RAF ref number, I believe. Try asking on e-goat.

    That is a Parka, extreme cold weather

    22C 1301246

    I believe it is issued as part of the Aircrew Survival Pack, they are still in use and bloody expensive! Just shy of £500 each.

    Shiny.

    Aircrew flightline parka issued for chilly places such as Goose Bay and Gander. It has a thick blanket like lining and I sold two on E Bay for 150 quid each recently........ Probably could have got more but I'm not greedy and needed a quick sale
