Hi Gents,

 

It's been awhile since I had a new helmet to post here :( .

 

I scored this one last week from eBay and got it for a reasonable price I think. Looks to be an early APH-6 helmet with a 1967 contract date. Nice tape job for training squadron 31.

The only really bad thing is that it's missing a chuck of the visor cover as you can see here. The single clear visor moves freely up and down.

 

All in all another one I'm happy to add to the collection.

 

Looks like VT-31 flew a variety of types, including the S-2 and P2V so no telling what a/c time this helmet saw!

 

Thanks for looking.

Nice USN APH-6A flight helmet. Also need the dark tan/brown leather and cloth pads for the chin and nape straps.

 

I wondered about those pads, thanks for confirming I need to track down a set.
