We've all seen helmets labelled as made by RBR. We've also seen helmets labelled as made by LBA (Lightweight Body Armour) which absorbed RBR proper in 2001. So far so good.
The thing is, what does 'RBR' actually mean? Is it just an acronym based on the owners' names ( no evidence for that) or the place they operated...not likely. Does it have any meaning related to body armour or protective clothing at all? Come come that, does it have *any* meaning at all? Does anyone have a clue?
