Hi Robert

When I was in, we called them "Crew Tents" and they were issued to Armoured Vehicle Crews in the Regiment. Eventually, every vehicle had one (softskins in HQ etc). Easy to set up and other than in deep winter, a comfy dry space for 2-3 people. Not often we had x4 pers in them.

Later, working with other trades, I heard them called "Recce Tents".

I don't think they were ever considered to be man-portable or carried in the dismounted role.

Nice find.

regards
Darrell
