The RAF mk14a flight/flying suit is pretty easy to find on ebay in the UK and is pretty close to the mk11's (pretty rare on there).
Make sure you get ones with the knee/thigh board pockets - some I've seen advertised don't.

I'm the one they warned you about

Not an absolute MUST, but a generally good idea if you wish to be relatively Screen Accurate.
They're on the Screen Accurate Mk11 flightsuits that were used in the film Aliens.

Most Mk14s also have thighboard pockets, so by getting a Mk14 with these pockets, you are effectively getting a reasonably accurate flightsuit with which to portray a Dropship crew member.

See Boltrigs photos here for an example:

This is me in the Mk14 with the pockets.



I considered that, but have ended up set on MAA Pat BDUs with Jungle Boots for when my Marine is finally up and running.
Having grown up in forces environments, the difference between camo patterns becomes glaring and Brit DPM never looked quite right with CM armour, to me.

ah ha! Got all my gear today, patches, flight suit, boots, still waiting on the flak vest though, I'll post a photo when its all here to make sure its looking ok
