loki 44 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Does anybody remember when when kids used to wear second world war flying helmets,this was in the early 1950's. We had a choice of leather or canvas depending on how much pocket money we had. Funny thing is old flying helmets go for £100 on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterR Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Wish this forum had a 'like' button to click as per 'facebook'. I would have clicked it to show that I have read and appreciate this post. I often feel that maybe nobody has looked at my posts. Wish I had known about these helmets in the early fifties and would have loved to have one.
