RAF PCS

Does anybody know if the PCS garments on E Bay are trial items or is PCS going on general issue to the RAF? Prices are steep but don't know wethere to invest or wait?

I have a set and the labels are general issue.

MTP PCS is general issue i have heard that there is a plain blue version for the RN for working dress

I have seen photos of the Navy PCS. It looks to be slightly darker than the RAF version. I first thought they were the same but the RAF version mentions the RAF on the labels. I have not handled a navy version so I do not know what the labels say.

Thanks gents, I think I might wait at the moment to purchase a set of RAF PCS as on evil bay they are priced extortionately!! If they are going on general issue, I think more of these will turn up!

I dont think there is an RAF blue PCS every body gets issued MTP

Not correct. I have a blue PCS set which clearly states on the Smock " SMOCK COMBAT WINDPROOF RAF BLUE" do you need a photo?

In order to avoid misunderstanding, by the above quote,  I meant that the labels are not trial issue but general RAF issue as stated in my previous post

No photo required as I stand corrected from what I have found the RAF blue PCS is out there but it may not be on genaral issue yet.

I haven't seen any being worn by the RAF members recently, possibly a new thing?

from what I read on the ARRSE it is on trial and not general issue
