Hi!
The RAF Museum is the obvious one but also a local museum might be interested especially with the connected stories about a local person.

Subject: RAF uniform on offer
Hello all
I'm doing a favour for a family friend who is looking for a new home for her late husband's RAF uniform. I thought with the RAF centenary coming up, there may be museums who would like one!
it's the jacket and trousers (not the cap unfortunately) of a 'best blue' uniform, so only worn at ceremonials and on parade. David was a Squadron Leader and his rank is on the sleeve. It's from the 1960s but in great condition.
David served almost everywhere it seems but I've included some highlights below:
- the furthest outpost on the Shetland Islands
- Station Commander at Leighton Buzzard, re-opening the base
- as part of NATO at RAF Northwood
- leading the silver Jubilee celebrations in High Wycombe
- and outside the UK such as Cyprus, Norway, the Netherlands but there are lots, lots more! If needed, his widow is happy to share memories or photos of particular locations.
Thanks
Natalie
