Spooklily enough, the current Homeground includes a letter which claims
that the suit Kate wore in the Dreaming vid was actually an ex-RAF Mk.22C
inner flying suit as worn by Phantom crew, which were also the basis for
the Cybermen outfits. I assume Kate's one had to be taken in a bit to
fit her 8-)
