RAF, Type - D flying Helmet.
Stores Ref. No. 22C/971, size 3.
Fitted with a very good brown coloured internal wiring loom, a bakelite jack/bell plug and a very good pair of type 32 earphone receivers.
The helmet outer is made from a robust tan cotton fabric and incorporates a neck flap for sun protection. This is in a very good condition. On the left side is a rubber stamp, Air Ministry Ref. No. mark. The rubber earcups are still nice and supple and the elastic chin strap is in a very good condition. All the leather goggle straps are present and in excellent condition.
The inside is lined with a cream coloured silk fabric which helps to keep the pilot's head cool.
A very good example of this late war pattern helmet.
The goggles are just for display purpose, and are for sale separately.
