Royal Air Force Sporran on e-bay

[macwilkin]

What doesn't make sense is that if its a RAF sporran from the 1950s then what tartan kilt did they wear it with back then....?

The sporran in question does have an RAF eagle on it, but it would be nice to see his documentation.

Just had a look at the web site of the Pipes & Drums of RAF Halton, and they show some photos from the 1950's of the band wearing the standard RAF uniform, and then later on (1960's?), the band switched to the Douglas tartan:

On the RAF Pipe Band Association's web site, the Grey Douglas tartan is shown -- it was authorized in 1397 by King George VI, yet never adopted officially. It is today worn by the Pipes & Drums of RAF 2622 Sqaudron Band:
