When training films were made the troops were often issued trials kit to wear/use so that the film would not look dated too quick. Note the helmets have trials issue covers (without the loops of elastic on the cover). Another bit of trials kit in the film is the LAW 80 which was not issued till a long time after this.The film is dated 1982 and would have been produced prior to this date.
@SPICYMOOCHOO Oooh technical question don't know what mark it was but it was a vast improvement over the old tin lid that was to all intent pretty much the same as we used in WW2. I believe with a few small changes it is the helmet in current issue
Thanks!
