The other thing you can try is an adjustable hat stretcher that you can find on ebay. I use them to keep my hats in shape after getting wet so you could just put it in & it shoud bring the helmet back to it's original shape without having to adjust it for size.

Just a thought !!!

To my information, RAF uniforms were issued to Australian Airmen in the UK as a replacement/surplus for the dark blue uniforms which were issued to the men Australia, before they were shipped to the European Theatre, when there were worn out.

This, I was told by Australian veterans I have met in England when I visited RAF museums as member of a living history group.

Thanks Odulf that makes sense.

All the best.

Hi Guys,

As the title says I'm just trying to find out if Australians wore RAF uniforms during WW2 ???

I've just been given a set of cloth AUSTRALIA shoulder titles that are in the RAF colours & was told that they were worn by Australians serving with the RAF during the war but have been unable to find any information & all my books show our Guys in their dark blue RAAF uniforms ???

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All the best.
