I do remember seeing, in use the old enormous £20 note @Tamnymore must have been unusual in our house because I was given it to have a look at, so that was probably early 50's.

At the end of the war my parents got married and the commander of my father's battalion gave them a £5 note as a wedding present. My father said he'd never seen a £5 note before.

Back to trench coats! It's worth checking out Stylearc and Fibremood to see if they have any suitable coat offerings.
