EOD Suit -"Spooner"

[TimG]

I'm after an image(s) of a very early EOD suit, which I believe was called a "Spooner Suit". Period would have been the very early 70s or before. Apparently it is somewhat similar in appearance to the armour worn by Ned Kelly.

Thanks in anticipation

TimG.

You welcome Tim, Glad that it helped!

I obtained one of these suits about 10 years ago that I planned to use for a manikin display and some knucklehead in my Department threw it away during a cleaning in my absence!

They also had a law enforcement vest which I managed to hang on to for years now. I guess I should photograph it.
