I thought I would post another one of my flying helmets. It is a 2nd pattern Net helmet with a short pig tail communication lead.
When I purchased it on EBay a while ago, I posted one of the pictures on the forum and one of our fellow members contacted me to inform me that he used to own the helmet as a child; he then sold the helmet to a book dealer who eventually put it on EBay for sale. He also informed me that he had got it from a friend's father who was WW2 vet (who had picked up the helmet in Europe with the short lead already attached.
Many thanks, Gareth
