Cheers Jerry, great to see a no so spotty example, I'd nearly kill for one like this!!!

Rene I can't really make out the numbers, the first group of numbers look like 8415 would that be 1984? The rest can't tell what they are. The only white is behind the pockets, the inside seat and legs are lined in a green material.

.....a tad off topic but there is an obvious tie-in....is anyone collecting MTP camo variants yet or are we all gonna leave that one 'till it's history, all the labels have washed out and we all have to start from scratch again?

I suspect there's an element of it not being cool (yet!)

DON'T reply to this MTP question here...this thread is about DPM.....MTP probably deserves a Thread of its own.....although there's already a HUGE (98 pages!) thread entitled "Post 1945 Cams" which incidentally also includes DPM....and there's this one (currently 19 pages).........but in good WR tradition why have one thread on a topic when you can have 50!!! :-)

We could call a new thread something imaginative, witty though not patronising, relevant, punchy but with a hook...something like "British MTP camouflage"....and then, in ten years time, when MTP is "cool" we can create a host of new Threads on the very same topic and wonder why no-one knows anything :-)
