Well, my helmet is too small, but I'm sure many have the same complaint.

Courtney, Tuc ...

Apparently Flt. Lt. A Lien had to have his Mk3 Bonedome adapted before he joined his first operational Squadron



Now which Squadron was that ?

As an engineer, laser cutting a helmet to fit one head seems to be a waste, especially as when he leaves it's no good for anything. Surely laser cutting his head to suit the standard size helmet would have been the correct course, thus saving the expense of a wasted helmet when he left the services.

Or even cheaper, an oversize helmet and a tube of expanding foam gap filler, applied in situ.
