Description |
| 1596 |  |  | USAAF Preserver, Pneumatic Life Vest - WWII, Type B-5 – or a Mae West to everyone else! Nicely stamped with full AAF identification marks, dated July 1945 and manufactured by the Seamless Rubber Company. It is lacking the oxygen inflation bottle. Leather patches to the front have been restitched and showing signs of wear, but ideal for mannequin display. |
| 92 |  | | Japanese Flying Jacket - WWII, in beige cloth with fur lining. Chest size 42" (107cm), complete with original insignia and Japanese writing to storm flap. |
| 1669 |  | | Summer Flying Suit - Australian Air Force, WWII. This is an un-issued example -, it even has the manufacturer's paper label attached to the front. The interior label reads "N91 1942 Size 2 Made in Australia". This suit is very similar in design to the early pattern RAF Sidcot, but with buttons replacing the zip closures. A near perfect example to display in your RAAF collection – or it is ready to take to the air after 62 years! |

| 1598 |  | | 'Warren' Safety Flying Helmet - Patent No. 14310, named to L. Newman. These helmets were invented by Mr Warren of Hendon, near London, in the early 1900's. While they were never officially adopted by the military, they were popular with trainee pilots in the Royal Flying Corps and Royal Naval Air Service. There is some service wear, but overall in very good condition. A very rare early flying helmet. |
| 1394 |  | | 1930's Civilian Flying Helmet - labelled to "S. Lewis, of Racing, Flying and Motor Clothing Fame." In excellent original condition inside and out, complete with D.H. Type Gosport tubes. Size 7. |
| 1048 |  | | RAF 'B' Type Flying Helmet - Stores Ref. 22C/64 Size 1. This helmet is as issued, without fitted ear receiver cups - these were added by the Squadron tailor to suit individual requirements. Some service wear, but a nice original example of an unmodified 'B' Type from the early years of WWII. |
| 1458 |  | | RAF 'B' Type Flying Helmet - Stores Ref. 22C/65 with receiver cups fitted Size 2. Nice original condition with some service wear. The back adjustment strap and flap has been field modified to provide a tighter fit. A superb example of the classic "Battle of Britain" flying helmet. |

| 1525 |  | | RAF 'E' Type Flying Helmet - Stores Ref. 22C/974. This is the second pattern with an internal wiring loom - while marked as a Size 2, fits more like a Size 4. These helmets were intended for Coastal Command Air Crew, who often flew "Ops" of 10 hours, or more - the 'E' type was more comfortable to wear. Very clean condition inside and out. |
| 1057 |  | | RAF 'G' Type Cloth Flying Helmet - fitted with receivers and wiring loom. The helmet is a Size 3, dated 1959. Named on the front to "Birdling". Good issued condition. |

| 1013 |  | | 1920/30's Flying/Motoring Goggles - fitted with tinted green filters. Some general service wear, but nice display example of early goggles. |
