Since all references point to kilts not being work after Dunkirk, could you elaborate or provide more details for this photo?

ie: original publication? how did you identify the kilted men as glider pilots?

The only kilted 1st Airborne pilot I know of was Capt Ogilvie, KIA in late September, so having 2 inthe same photo is a first for me

Thanks in advance.

This photo appears in a series of photos taken at/during the Arnhem campaign and was featured in the Time-Life series WWII "Liberation" (pg 192). The source of the photo is listed as the Imperial War Museum, London.

The caption reads:
Checking the supplies in its jeep, a patrol led by a glider pilot -- in the kilt he was wearing when he landed -- prepares to move toward Arnhem...

Though the photo caption only identifies one individual as a glider pilot, I assume because there are two present in similar kilts that the other is most likely his co-pilot.

I found the following links after doing a google search for 'Capt Ogilvie':
