Correct on the first two, but May is wearing a modern British helmet. Looks like the Mk 7 Ballistic Combat Helmet. The UN has a random assortment of old helmets that get given to them by countries like Britain, so they do have a bunch of the old Mk 6's, but it was still a British helmet first and foremost.

I did think it was rather odd that Hammond and May got the modern kevlar helmets but Clarkson got stuck with that Soviet-era piece of junk.

It's his helmet. He bought it at a flea market in the former-GDR. Hammond and May presumably got whatever the BBC has in stock.

@@Orca19904 If it makes you feel any better, neither the PASGTs or the Russian helmet provide good ballistic protection. PASGTs and MICHs, as well as later evolutions of the MICH such as the ACH were made in prisons by a company called Federal Prison Industries, also operating under the trade name UNICORE. Besides not being stellar helmets at all to begin with. All information available indicates that PASGTs, MICHs and ACHs would routinely fail to defeat threats even out to distances well past 500 yards, and would also degrade over time because they were made of Kevlar in many cases, as opposed to the UHMWPE construction of more modern helmets like the FAST helmet. Also ~44,000 in United states inventory of the later ACHs were found to be defective. www.businessinsider.com/prisoners-made-helmets-for-the-us-military-and-they-were-defective-2016-8

4:20 Ah, Jeremy, that there is a Rifle Plate. It's either made of steel or a certain kind of ceramic. It can take rifle rounds, not just pistol rounds and fragmentation. Downsides: the plate is heavy, uncomfortable, and is quite small compared to the rest of your chest. But the little rifle protection is better than nothing.

I don't know why but "Hammond! Put your handbrake on!" always makes me laugh. Probably because, as usual, May is being the sensible one while Jeremy and Hammond are wigging out in front. To be fair, I would be screaming too! I was laughing so hard while watching the last episode of the final series when Hammond was seated (literally) on the acrobatics plane cause I was thinking about this episode. The poor guy is always being flung through the sky with only little cloth pieces to hold him!
