008.jpg and the second issue introduced from the mid-1970s replacing the earlier green version......these are unlined nylon, not PVC, and were again originally for NI only. Good for street patrols and VCP's, they were a hazard in the country for patrols due to the excessive noise generated !!!!! Near identical to the green issue, with matching trousers, the only difference being the addition of velcro tabs to the cuffs, replacing the press-studs of the green version.............again, 3 sizes made, and these were replaced by the PVC waterproof smock and trousers around 1984.............note the exceptionally bright DPM colours of this unissued example........not as scarce as the green version but becoming hard to find nowadays........:-D
