Does anyone know what is happening in the U.K. with regards to front seat crew PPE? There seems to be quite a few variations on a theme.

I ask as the company I work for are working hard to get a local solution for U.K. based Alpha helmet wearers and hope to have a stop gap half face respirator available, prior to the long term Gentex solution making its appearance (LPPR).

For anyone with experience of flying in FFP3 face masks, does the boom mic work effectively while wearing face masks or would a mask mounted mic be preferable/essential?

Opinions on wether a helmet mounted respirator solution would be better (put on/take off like an oxygen mask using side mounted connectors) than a completely separate
over the head face hugger type would also be welcome.

Best regards to those doing the biz during these times.
