St John's airport in Newfoundland. That was an airbase during and after the war. So the helmet letters would fit. It could be a post war repaint. It's definitely a Canadian made helmet. Remember Newfoundland wasn't part of Canada at the time.

Thanks Noelh I found St John's Newfoundland in my search but I thought the air base went by a different name will have to do some more digging .

I am much more inclined to think it stands for "St John Ambulance Brigade"
