I have a tyre care manual somewhere from early war period that has that pattern tread. It would certainly have been a lot better in the mud than the non-directionals and definately a lot safer on wet sealed roads. A bit wasted as a tyre on a trailed unit.

As far as I know. The denim uniform was exactly the same style as the BD. Here is mine that I wear..... if I have to! It's just more comfortable than BD. Although the wind can whip through it when riding on a chilly morning.

Sorry Mike if we're going off topic a bit! Ron

Ron,

Sure looks the same pattern as the BD - you could well be spot-on. Still an Australian in a British uniform, it would be interesting to find out why. His jacket has the contrasting lining around the collar like the BD, does the cotton style have a lining like this?

*Just answered my own question by blowing up your photo - yes it does.

I don't think it is far off topic as it is trying to trace why the Australians had British equipment to fit their aerials to.
