Mk 1 RAF Pilots Helmet “bone dome” 1969

Notes

RAF Pilots flying helmet MK1A -
Issued in the 1950’s, this was the first helmet
produced for the RAF with a fixed (moveable) visor.
It was issued to all front line pilots.

This is a classic early ‘bone dome’ (nickname
given to the flying helmet) complete with the inner
helmet that holds the avionics and oxygen mask.
It would have been used by all RAF Pilots flying
V Bomber’s and English Electric Lightning’s to name
but a few of the RAF world leading air craft of
the time. This particular helmet is in wonderful original condition, comes with display stand and retains its original serial detailing, large size and is dated 1969.

Specification as displayed: 35cm high, 28cm long 24cm wide.
