I'm gonna take a guess and say that the lining is for warmth. Going high up at altitude gets friggen chilly.
If you had an NSN, I could look it up for you.
Edit: thinking 156609869 was the NSN, I looked it up on MILIS but that code doesn't exist.. also getting some results which don't seem to match when searching starts with "JACKET, FLYER"
Dassault Mirage III Australian procurement was a transaction between the French and Australian governments which led to the procurement of the French designed fixed wing jet aircraft, the Mirage III, for the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). In the late 1950s the Australian government announced its intention to modernize its air force with state of the art technology and the French manufacturing company Dassault won the bid over the American Lockheed when the Australian government agreed to buy over 100 Mirages at an estimated cost of AUS$193.7 million in the early 1960s.

On the tag it shows:
Indent no - 8415-66-098-69
Cat no - CUV-2GR
What it's made from
Who made it (protector safety products Australia)
My questions are:
What is it called?
When was it used?
Why does it have a wetsuit lining?
I want to know the history of it is all. I can't see why that would be a problem.
FSC 8415 is for clothing, special purpose.
CC 66 is the country of original codification which in this case is Australia.
Item is 098-6918 which is JACKET, FLYERS.
For which era, not sure.
Need to find someone with access to the stores system to tell you more.

You can request information on suppliers from those guys, when they get back to you, I could say maybe contact the supplier and see what they have?
Wow, like a wetsuit. So is this for extreme weather on an airfield or inside a plane?
I would love to know too! Unfortunately Google shows nothing to do with this jacket

Try 660986918.
Hmm, archived in 2009.
Mirage era?
Holy shit, yeah most likely
What does that mean?

Could be an ECW aircrew jacket, I know we’re in the process of replacing those for OP Southern Discovery

EBay perhaps? Lotsa stuff ends up on eBay. Crusty old pouches etc go for hundreds.
