[ILH]

Hi,
having looked through some old picture i think this is a 1920/30s British Flying Suit.
Does anyone know what type it is? the bloke who gave it to us thought it was a tank suit.

cheers, jim

if i remember correct this is a sidcot flying suit used through out ww2 not sure when they were introduced late 1930's

Definately not a tank suit.
Battledress, coveralls or the ubiquitous "Pixie suit" were the order of the day for tankers depending on time of year and theatre of operations.

Cheers Lee,
Did some trawling on SidCot, and you do remember right This one isn't heated, so anywhere from 1918-41 so far. Going to try Nige's UV trick on the label and hit the books again.
thanks again,
Jim.
