Figure 32. Post War Mk VIII clones started to be produced almost immediately by several companies; Stadium being best known. Left Stadium Mk VIII these have a different strap arrangement and finish to RAF goggles, they also have ‘Made in England’ on them which military issue items do not. Centre a pair with Stadium designed barrel screw adjuster across the bridge, called the Mk 9 (definitely not an RAF designation). Right, Halcyon, a components supplier to Stadium, took over goggle production when Stadium ceased that line of product. They are still produced today, shown here are a smaller ‘Compact’ pair, with the Stadium barrel screw adjustment.
