LOL, sorry about that! I was wondering if any of the board member knew whether British Tankers used any other color coverall other than Blue or Khaki? I have an article sent to me a few years ago titled THE BRITISH TANK CREWS's WAR, 1916-1918 by Martin Pegler ( im not sure of the magazine it is from) and in the article the pics used by the recreator look orange in color. Does anyone have any info on this?

thanks

The 'khaki' overalls were very orange in colour, especially under certain light

The colour is too light on the Osprey plate - i'll dredge up a pic, should have one somewhere, there's a photo in the WW1 Light Railways photo thread in 'references' where you can see the lower half of my overalls
