Due to other interests and down sizing my aviation collection , I have been listing original items from my collection.
1940 B-type RAF crown & A.M marked BRITISH MADE AND ISSUED "BATTLE OF BRITAIN" period flying helmet.
After much heart wrenching I have decided to part with my "BATTLE OF BRITAIN" RAF 1940 dated helmet B TYPE FLYING HELMET.
I have pictured the helmet with goggles on to give you an idea of how impressive this can look but note this auction is only for the flying helmet ONLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also have listed his Mark IVb Battle of Britain goggles IN THE OTHER AUCTION
I have added a lower and very fair buy now price...these 1940 helmets sell for a lot more if you can find one on dealer sites !!
B TYPE FLYING HELMET , condition is as per pictures some scuffing and in places and over all wear from age, unmessed with , just needs a bit of TLC to make it a gem in any RAF collection . .. missing pully tabs from both ear cups as is common place . Zips work fine .Both retain original receiver cups in both ears though missing all electronic pieces as is usual.
HELMET IS GOOD DIPLAYABLE CONDITION AND PERIOD DATED !! 1940 G WADDINGTON...AM stamp feint but below this crown and AM so issued piece.
THESE ARE RARE NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS AUCTION THOUGH IS STRICTLY FOR THE FLYING HELMET ALONE, ( head is not included in this auction).
