GaryR Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Hi. Me and my brother both have WD motorcycles, mine's 1942 his is 1943, which we take to military events. My brother said he'd like a Brodie helmet to sit on the back as he's seen plenty of ww2 photos where the rider has a dispatch rider's helmet on but also has a Brodie helmet on the back ready for when he gets off his bike. Trouble is all the Brodie helmets for sale weem to be dated early war, 39/40. Did they produce loads in 1940 and not make any after that, haven't seen any dated 43/44.. All the liners seem to be 39/40 too.. The only Brodie helmets I have are a 1940 Home Guard helmet (1 hole drilled in rim), and 2 desert helmets, which wouldn't match our bikes. I do have 2 Mk3 helmets, which would be the right age, but i've never seen a photo of one with a biker, the day I find said photo i'll be using it on my bike...lol Thanks.
