Canadian or British uniform?
« on: Wednesday 11 April 07 21:25 BST (UK) »
Taken, I think, in Canada, but there was a RAF training facility nearby.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Okay, Old Rowley says it's an RAF greatcoat.

Canadian and Brit uniforms were almost identical, with the exception that above the shoulder flash, a Canadian uniform would have had a "Canada" flash. I would say, that by the lack of the "Canada", it would be RAF,
