The Royal Armoured Corps helmet is a combat helmet of British origin worn by Armoured Troops.[1] As with the similarly shaped HSAT, it was initially manufactured by Briggs Motor Bodies at Dagenham. It was introduced in WW2 and was issued to commonwealth countries in the post-1945 era up to the Falklands War. The RAC helmets came with the same suspension and liner that was used in MKll helmets and later the liner and elasticated chinstrap used in MkIV helmets. Many were converted to be used as a Paratrooper Helmet.
