Flying overalls what are these?

Flippin’ things get everywhere!!!:)

Not wshing to turn this in to a ‘Spitfire’ thread but….

As a TA soldier in the Armoured Corps c.1962, my fellow soldier Trevor Tew and I offered to give driver training to a recruit during the mid weekend break at the annual summer camp at Lulworth.

We had an ulterior motive. The recruit drove the first five miles and then it was all speed to the Montague Motor Museum to see…you guessed it.

No need to apologise that it is not an aviation suit, asking questions is how we learn. If you are interested in flying clothing and equipment from the WWII period this is a good forum to join: http://www.network54.com/Forum/180748/ Lots of knowledgable helpful people, like there are here on Key Avaiation.

Thanks guys for all your input and sorry it’s not aviation related. There is a huge interest in the sacrifice made by Allied airmen during the war in Denmark.

The size is the critical thing, small sizes are easy to find, the larger, 5 and 6, are a little harder and more sought after. The label tells all!

Great info, thanks for sharing.

Anybody looking for a Pixie suit like these?

British WW2 Winter Tank crew suit

It’s not a flying suit, it’s a tank suit. It should have a label inside the right sleeve.
