G'day all,
Whilst not WW2 era made these winter tankers coveralls (Pixie suit) are I believe identical to the late WW2 British made examples with the exception of colour (OD vs Khaki ).
The hood is a late 60's construction but the coveralls may be earlier. Alas the retrieval straps have been cut out.
Top tag is off the coveralls second is the hood
These images I believe are from the late 50's early 60's showing the Australian OD "Pixie" suit ( and a black one) in use. Love the bottom photo. A scenic view of a Victorian winter past complete with 20 Pounder Type 2 gunned Centurion tank.
I am aware of GB, Belgium and Australia using this classic WW2 designed suit post war but were there any other users ?
Thanks for looking
All the best
Dave
Not sure how this photo ended up down here. It's the winter one I mentioned with the black "Pixie".
