British MK6 /MK6 A Helmet Covers

It really is no wind up gents. The MoD do source kit from Chinese factories/contractors. The right wing press had a field day when it first became known!

I've seen loads of MTP stuff (official) from China...but I can't recall seeing any DPM...or have I misunderstood you?

To be honest I can't recall it either but if I recall correctly DPM was still in 1st line use when the Chinese contracts were placed so I can't see why not.

When the manufacturers name disappeared from the labels is the time when the Chinese stepped in, typical of this country to stab perfectly good contractors in the back.
Interestingly though the Dutch military are using British firms, i have a pair of Dutch DPM trousers made by Compton Webb!...

Nice Mk 6 Example Paul i must really add an earlier smooth shell back into the collection ,The one i had now resides in a private collection in Canada

I picked another Mk6 DPM cover recently but will not be able to show the label as it came with this contraption

Hi Mark Really nice to be reacquainted with the old girl once again and see how she is doing across the pond

Thank you James I have recently acquired a M6 A a few months back as well which brought me a helmet closer to having full representation of composite helmets systems employed by the UK but I am afraid I have away's to go yet I would like to add a Mk 7 soon but waiting for the right example that shows wear indicative to a field used example with just the right amount of wear to make it interesting...

Cracking example Mk6 alpha Mark It has just the right amount of issued wear and thank you for sharing
Cheers James
