Early C-type flying helmet made by Frank Bryan, size 2 6 7/8 - 7, dated 1941. Belonged to Pilot Sgt. Coeshott of 190 Squadron RAF who sadly died with his crew when his plane was shot down on a resupply operation to Arnhem on 19th Sept, 1944. The helmet has his name and number written inside. As can be seen from the pictures the top of the helmet has some damage and is ripe for restoration. Condition on the rest of the helmet is good. A nice named example.
