Service Dress Jacket dated 1960

Following the unsuccessful introduction of the 1947 Pattern Uniform the jacket had by now regained the two lower pockets and silk embroidered flying badges. Three equally spaced gilt metal buttons together with one flat button underneath the belt fasten the jacket at the front. |
