Yup, that is certainly something......

Privately purchased?

A mechanic who took his old civil overall with him into service and made it look more military by adding the bird?

[Harry]

Volkssturm - in view of age of the guy, civilian overalls with added adler (possibly airfield defence)...

[WEISNER]

That is somthing Jos... But what? Alder on a sleeve +++! Harry,s Volkssturm angle may be right? I am sure if there was a date on it you would have posted that. Thanks for showing this one to us!

The guy, looks british!

By me, the photo is a post war joking... with fantasy overall and a (probably) good eagle.. put on a wrong side!

Could he maybe be a mechanic from that gang who test flow German airplanes under and after the war at Farnborough?

They have some special insigna and some German equipment


Andy

[frank savage]

Tanks, Andy!
Really interesting!!
Could be.. who knows? Tha guy in the Jos's pic could be a mechanic for german planes tested by RAF..

[AndyC]

Yes i think so

There is a book by Captain Eric Brown there he write about how it was to fly German airplans compare to the allies

They did indeed! Not only IMO is the cap British but the man in question (top photo) would appear to have a typical British mustache as well!!
