.
Also owned by "KANE" as per the boxed set on the previous browser page. These probably late 1945 -1950. The head strap on these is a converted Irvin jacket rear collar strap as was often utilised for this purpose by the bomber crews due to its easy wearing and removal from around the flying helmet. A nice tidy no problem pair, fitted with the tinted lenses and well fit for use with a helmet display.
£175. I think this man may have been a Meteor Pilot.
A PLEASING & HIGH QUALITY PAIR OF RAF MKVIII FLYING GOGGLES
