I see you're in Hereford. Why not toddly down to Stirling Lines and ask if someone from Air Troop would be kind enough to help you out. Make sure you take the helmet with you, mind, or they might get confused!

Yes of course there is such a thing as a Para Helmet.

However the lads over in Helmand are being made to wear the Mk6A due to it having better ballistic protection. Before someone starts off the old chestnut, "Para lids are just made of fibreglass bla bla bla", they have been made of kevlar for some time now.

Dan, to the original question, stand by for PM. Probably a bit more useful then all these silly answers! :roll:
