British Royal Air Force RAF Cold War Period G Type Blue Jet Flying Helmet 22C
An original RAF G Type Flying Helmet dated 1967 which is a size No. 2.
This pattern of flying helmet came into use with the RAF in the 1950s replacing the short-lived but very similar F Type Helmet. It was designed to be worn underneath the newly issued 'Bonedome' helmet or on its own and features pop studs to attach the oxygen mask too which would have been the H Type when first introduced.
The original label is still present inside the helmet with the RAF stores code of 22C/1730 and size marking of No. 1. It also features the War Department broad arrow marking. The contract number is suffixed with the number 67 which denotes 1967 as the year of manufacture.
The condition of the helmet is good but it has clearly been issued and a reasonable amount of use with some soiling
Overall a nice original G Type Flying Helmet with a clear date which is in fair condition.
