Similar but my triangle is deep blue, and inside that there is a thin lined white V following the outline of the triangle, inside that there are the letters ive described F A P across the top A R P reading downwards the A form the letters of both , sorry no photos , no camera

Fantastic collection I love it and a great investment Davejb helmet means FAP = First Aid Post, ARP = Air Raid Post. if he didn't already know. Sounds an interesting lid.
All the best.

Aaron (or should that be Tinlid), first off I'd like to say nobody likes a show off, second I think it's very greedy of you not only to have all of those helmets but to have TWO Airborne mannequins is just simply excessive (I assume that you are an investment banker or on benefits), third I want to sdh ojaoisf2345 b##

...Sorry my tears shorted the keyboard.

One day my collection will look like this, when the kids leave home, and I get a better paid job, and I get a bigger house, and my wife stops spending money on clothes, and I stop eating.

A truly cracking collection and war room Sir (although I'd take out the chair/sofa - you could stick another couple of mannequins in there!). Here's a picture of my measily effort before one of my children moved in (according to my wife it's not fair to have four children share two rooms - only another 10 years until the oldest is able to move out)

Hi,
Sorry it's 3 airbourne mannequins,

I did have ten mannequins & a BSA folding bike but they had to go. I see some nice Brit lids you have there, police, warden NFS helmet as well. What's the one with the writing on?
