An original RAF G Type Flying Helmet dated 1965 and in a large size No. 2.
This pattern of flying helmet came into use with the RAF in the 1950s replacing the short-lived but very similar F Type Helmet. It was designed to be worn underneath the newly issued Bonedome helmet or on its own and features the hook attachments to which an oxygen mask can be fitted. The helmet comes complete with a set of ear donuts which were removable on this pattern being attached with pop studs. Inside this are the original receivers which are attached to an original wiring loom which features the correct small size NATO plug to the end.
The original label is still present inside the helmet with thestores code of 22c/1730, the 1965 date, the size marking of No. 2 and the War Department broad arrow marking.
The condition of the helmet is good but it has clearly been issued and seen use. Overall it displays well with some limited signs of wear and age. Please study the pictures before purchasing and bear in mind that it is a vintage, pre-worn item which may have small flaws commensurate with age.
A nice original G Type Flying Helmet with a clear date.
