H-5-3 helmet

Message 407, Jan 11, 2004
Hi HUD, Thanks for the pictures. The green foam padding between helmet shell and strap suspension looks the same as the padding in DocBoink's Swiss H-5. The helmet looks very Canadian with the visor and MS22001 with Pate suspension. Maybe one of your pilots brought it back from pilot training in Canada?
Cheers, Bluelight

Hi HUD, Nope, never seen it before. I wonder what Wildbill would have to say about this one. It is a very interesting development in the H-5 discussions that we had in the old group where Australian and Swiss versions appeared.
I have noticed that the pictures you posted were numbers 1 and 6 respectively. Does that mean that you also have pictures 2, 3, 4 and 5? I for one would love to see them and I am sure that others would as well.
Cheers, Bluelight
