Bear Hunter - Hoodie
£44.00
Bear Hunter
This hoodie has a striking design that captures the work of RAF Quick Reaction Alert Squadrons during the dark days of the Cold War.

The Tupolev Tu-95's or Bear's were often confronted by armed RAF fighters firing passive homing missiles. GCI has since been replaced with Airborne Early Warning and Control systems. These AEW aircraft patrol our UK skies as well as in overseas conflicts. The RAF Typhoon F2 now operates out of Lossiemouth and Coningsby still in the QRA - 'Bear Hunting' role.

Invasion Stripes - Hoodie

In May 1944 the new marking scheme was approved by Air Chief Marshall Sir Trafford Leigh-Mallory.

As Operation Overlord progressed the stripes appeared only on the undersurfaces to avoid air attack whilst on the ground. Stripes were used again in later conflicts such as Korea and the operation in the Suez. This design features a weather worn insignia and Overlord stencil.
