Default RAAF biscuit?

I'm wondering if anyone could tell me anything about this RAAF biscuit eg
1) worn on what uniform
2) what years was it worn etc.

Thanks.

Peter,
There are several different colours or the shirt, mess jacket, cams etc. There are actually 2 types for the cams. They came in about 2000 when the new Air Force blue uniform was introduced. I will photograph mine ASAP.

Very nice, thank you. Do you know any dates or the periods any of them were worn?

They were introduced around 2000 with the introduction of the Air Force blue uniform, similar to the WW2 uniform.
I have the drab biscuit as well, but am still looking into the white one for the mess kit.
