I received these pieces in the mail yesterday, a complete second pattern E Type flying helmet named to P/O A.R.F. Thompson along with his Type H oxygen mask. When I bought the helmet and mask, all I knew about Thompson was that he was a Captain with B.O.A.C. after the war. A simple Google of his name resulted in information pertaining to his RAF service with 249 Squadron during the Battle of Britain and other assignments during the war. Let me know what you guys think.
