I have a couple of internal pads for a G Helmet. See picture below. They are not by any means mint but I am sure they could be cleaned up a bit. Send me a PM with details of where to send them to; they are free to a good home.

There are no internal speakers but there is a pig tail with mic socket.

I've not got any e-mail from you and also have tried to send you a PM but I guess that as a new PPRuNer you don't have access to that facility.....
Can you give me some contact details for me to get in touch with you?

I always remember those helmets as being blue, or is it mildew?

[Innominate]

They went green some time in the late 70s, in the same way that aircrew coveralls had gone from blue to green some years earlier.

[Madbob]

The blue grey ones started life as F Helmets and originally only had one row of push studs, three each side for a H mask with elastic straps.


Later they then got two extra studs on each side and so morphed to became G Helmets and then able to accept P/Q masks on hooks and chains!


As you rightly say they turned green in the late 70's.

For your comparison The F and G type helmets, as MB said the early F type helmets were blue grey in colour with one set of press studs and when the extra set of studs were added and it then became the G type,The colur changed from blue grey to green sometime in the 70's
