Re: can anyone I D this helmet please
I seem to remember my father mentioning ringway ? and para's ?...shame I didnt pick his brains more when he was alive...or listen properly when he was telling me things....he lived both in the manchester area and nelson in Lancashire (where he was born) and he was an engineer...he always used to tell me great stories of the local factories in nelson making landing craft/pontoons and small boats,then taking them straight to liverpool on the canal,full of munititions and coffin's....his mate from school's dad worked at castle cement in Clitheroe (where the concrete for the mulbery harbours was developed)...they used to be great sunday afternoon walks
