I have acquired a set of goggles and case. The goggles fold in the middle and are fitted with red lens. I was informed that they were intended for use as eye protection during the early nuke testing.
However I have seen identical goggles and case, except they have clear lens, at Shuttleworth and are WW1 flying goggles.
My thoughts are could my goggles also be of that era.
Is it possible that ar the time red lens were used during the war night flying or some early form of sun glasses.
