A flyer's lot



What life is hidden behind these items? A Masonic one, apparently, as they include a jewel from the lodge of harmony.

They are being sold at Omega auctions in Stockport with an estimate of £60-£80.

The catalogue descriptions reads:

WWII - AIR MINISTRY LEATHER FLYING GLOVES & HAT. Included in this lot is a War Medal 1939-45, a silver MASONIC Lodge of Harmony 1796 (in case),a RAF sweethearts pin, RAF cloth hat and cap badge, A pair of Leather Air Ministry issue leather flying gloves (and inner gloves) stamped AM with hand written OST MG 2210874 ,which correlates with the flying goggles (with additional sun lenses) and leather flying helmet. Also included is a selection of associated photographs, both private and of military images.
