Lousy photos I did these a few years back, I should do some better shots of it...

This is a bonus! Some lovely flight helmets shown here.
Eubank - The upgrade was essentially about the improvements in the radio equipment housed within the flight helmets. If you take a look at the flight helmet that Bob has shown, this helmet is a really interesting evolution from the 100 to 101. Bob's helmet really is a transitional type that I have never seen before.
Bob's has the set-up for the 100 in the microphone that goes round the neck. Instead of the solid leather piece around the neck shown on your traditional 101 in posts 1 and 2, Bob's has the more flimsy 100 set-up for the microphones. However, he has the earphones of the traditional 101s. Very interesting!
From my experience the 101s started being manufactured in the summer of 1938 and if you look at photos from the early war Luftwaffe, the 101 is becoming more prevalent all the time.
Best regards,
Andy
