Thanks Wub. Is there a website with the info? However I don't recognise some of the features you mention. eg mine are blue paint over brass frames. Also have a blue elastic (from memory)strap, certainly not black leather. Mine also has a central knurled nut(s) for allowing the fit of the goggles to be adjusted, ie wider, angled. Maybe mine are a later version. Must watch the film again and pause to compare mine with those on the film and your description.

Cheers

ps Just found a picture of the ones you describe wub, and they are definitely not like mine, nor do they look like the ones in the film (google on 'f-223 pilot's googles' to see them). Certainly never seen any like them before.
