Douglas Bader's outfit (5,3,5)

I believe the answer is:

royal air force

(Other definitions for royal air force that I've seen before include "RAF in full" , "Branch of UK's armed services" , "British armed service" , "One of the armed services" , "UK military flyers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
