Total blank mate. I've seen similar designs in 'civvy' colours, but that tent does look rather military.

Think it might be available at European Army Surplus too (no connection, only found this), but there's no photo, no price and you have to buy in multiples of 3 which is a substantial gamble.

Robbi - congratulations on your catch.

I should have spotted earlier that this same seller sold one of these last month. One of the bidders asked the question:
Q: hi can you tell me the size of this tent h/w/L , also whats the size packed,
A: Hi the tent pitches inner first, weighs about 3kg and is about 2 meter by 2 meter

look forward to hearing your opinions though - have fun with it

Cheers

thanks for that,

2m x 2m is a good size for a 2 man tent, 3kg is quite hefty though, still it looks like it will stand up to some heavy weather
