The army are going over to MAN for pretty much everything..... maybe you saw a foreign contingent in the UK for SPTA fun???? Dunno. Some wrecker Fodens still in service I think.

I have one with the mix of shell and liner,too. Interesting to note the archive where I earn my daily crust has pix of this helmet - the MkIII -being unveiled to the press in 1941. It wasn't issued until '44 for the classic reason they were making so many of the MkII ('Tommy') pattern and also it's similarity to those of other beligerents. Yap yap yap.

Don't ask....but I have been provided with a weather report from the Senior Service - God bless 'em.... Rainy, sunny, patchy until Monday 19th. Dry and increasingly hotter from Tuesday 20th until the following week. High likelihood of cases of dehydration in hot temperatures. Make of it what you will...... camelbak anyone?
