That should work. Of course, you'll need something to generate the regulated 5V supply.
If you want a more main stream source, here's the mouser listing:
http://www.mouser.com/Search/Refine.aspx?Keyword=NAUSB-W
Or for you, maybe the farnell uk listing is more appropriate:
http://uk.farnell.com/neutrik/nausb-w/adaptor-usb/dp/1760681?Ntt=NAUSB-W
You can also get the NAUSB-W-B, which is the black version.

John,
I don't think so, it looks like this only provides a hard mounted USB socket - it does not do any voltage transforming. You would have to use a normal USB cable in the back side to connect to a 12/15v to 5v transformer.
See http://www.neutrik.com/uk/en/dataconnectors/210_t2_619292854/NAUSB-W_detail.aspx

John,
Perhaps something like this
http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/batteries/pololu-stepup-down-regulator
or this http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/batteries/step-down-regulator-5v-3v3
will fit the bill? Mount in a project box.

John,
How 'bout installing a simple 12 volt outlet. They are available through Amazon, ebay, auto parts, marine parts (waterproof!), etc. Then get a nice single or double USB power port to plug into it. For instance, here's a bunch of stuff from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&keywords=usb%2012%20volt%20adapter&page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Ausb%2012%20volt%20adapter
Or there's something like this 12 Volt Power Point with 5 volt USB Powerpoint Outlet from ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/12-Volt-Power-Point-with-5-volt-USB-Powerpoint-Outlet-/370409173256
It's only a single outlet, but maybe that's all you need.

You beat me to it. Thanks! I was going to
comment that there's a boat-load of technology
and product to apply to the task but many
'solutions' require fabrication, mounting of
multiple components, wrestling with noise
issues for some 5v down-converter products,
wiring, etc.
The pre-packaged devices Bob points out offer
turn-key solutions for installation. By picking
down-converters designed to fit on or inside
the legacy cigar-lighter socket, one may easily
replace a noisy converter for one more accommodating
without having to wrestle with mounting/re-wiring
issues.
All-in-all I think an elegant, low labor, low risk
solution.
Bob . . .

I used a USB socket designed for one of the card slots in a PC. It takes a small rectangular hole and two screw holes in the panel. This is powered by a 12vdc to 5 vdc switcher Mean Well from Mouser. Mine was for my I Pad which requires that you bias the data lines or the charger doesn't.
Bob's solution using the cigar lighter socket and a plug in USB charger does simplify the problem. I don't particularly like Cigar lighter outlets as a power connector due to size, they are purpose built to heat a coil to light a cigar not as a GP power outlet but they work. If you use a plug in adaptor make sure that it's rated output is enough for the purpose.

Ralph,
The 12 volt power socket I suggest is not a cigar lighter and not intended for that use. It is a purpose built 12 volt power socket that is in a form factor similar to the old cigar lighter outlet but it is not the same thing. It is to be used to provide 12 volt power to devices such as the USB adaptors.

I have installed 2 of these in my homebuilt and no radio interference on the voice channels. Walmart makes 2 nice USB powered goose neck LED lights that fit in the sockets. I may need to make a retention device but unknown at this time if the devices will come loose during flight
