Flight Helmet with Short Cord

[mjfur]

This is already posted in another flight helmet/ goggle thread, but I also wanted to post it on it's own so the title would get the Luft. collectors attention.

Hopefully this will end the debate on short cord flight helmets.

Is that a wartime photo? Never seen such a flightsuit before

Maybe he's wearing his P.J.'s, who knows? Compare the hanger doors and glass in the background. One door is darker than the others.
The pic sure looks like a German LKp-N101 without the O2 attachment on top of head, schwimmveste and Bf-110.

Hello, it appears to me he is wearing a Luft EM buckle, Im not aware of any other country wartime or postwar with a buckle setup like that. He maybe a Blackbird posing for this or a pilot wearing an elective Blackbird overall. Best, Bill

You can clearly see the extension cord connected to the short comm.cord of the helmet.
I hope more pictures will show up now......

Still no 100% proof IMO, while I've seen these long cables coming outoff a plane while they were checking radios or something..

what if a long cable hangs in a loop on his back ?
I think the ultimate pic would be a shot from behind where we can see a really short cable.
All pics sofar didn't give me the "that's a short one ! " feeling..
For some reason this pic should close the case, while I think we're still at the start. ( nice pic nevertheless)
With the material sofar it'll be very hard to convince my neighbor,even if we see 2 plugs connected over a shoulder.
The long cable comming from the plane isn't a extension cable IMO,but one as it should be.

He decided to wear a life vest while working on the radio?
