RN Numbers and suit makers

[Byron]

Quite so - it is some years now since the last Speedo was made in Oz for
example and ownership of Speedo International is now with the Pentland Group of the UK (the Warnaco group having rights to Speedo USA).

Interesting old pic here from the 1956 Melbourne Olympics showing the Aussie team's 100m freestyle swim champion. His suit should bear the Speedo logo but it looks suspiciously like Jantzen to me, rather than the boomerang symbol. Any opinions ?
