    I had no problem getting permission back when it was needed. My father was a Montana boy who joined the RAF in Spokane, Washington after Pearl Harbor, Trained at RAF Refresher School in Imperial, CA then took the train to Halifax, NS and shipped over to England. He was in an operational training squadron flying Hurricanes and Spitfires. He was up on the Dieppe raid. When the US Army Air Corps finally got set up in England in Sept 1942 he was transferred to the Army Air Corps and wound up flying P-39s in North Africa. Apparently being the son of an RAF combat pilot was enough. My kiltmaker scored the fabric from Strathmore and sewed it up.

    Hopefully you'll be able to obtain what you need.
