Hi Rob
I have been collecting british WW2 unforms and equipment for over 30 years and I have one of the suits that you have. I know for sure that its not a tank suit, and it wasnt for motorcylists and it wasnt used in canoes. Landing/harbour crews for flying boats wore something similar but its not one of those either.But what it is and who used them, I have so far drawn a blank? They are quite rare and yours is only the third I have seen in 30 years but because no one seems to know what they are they have been quite cheep, I paid £30 each for the 2 that I have seen, but that was a number of years back.
I know that this doesnt help much but if you do find some information I would love to know myself.
Cheers
Frank
