More pictures of Rogue Helmet!
Hi Matt,
It is interesting.. the comms plug is a UK NATO plug, the only other country to use the same plug is Frabce, but tge French Air Force tend to use French manufactured helmets (as we use UK manufactured), so I can’t see it being from France. This is why i’m interested to see a photo of the adaptor that it’s plugged into..
I might guess at it being from a private UK company who works with military aircraft, such as BAE systems… I used to know Keith Hartley when he worked for British Aerospace, he had an Alpha (not Mk10) quite similar to this for flying the Eurofighter prototypes.
But, as stated, the mask and hooks are a bit “kitchen tabley”, and it has a boom mic mount and only one visor which would indicate helicopter use, hence no need for a mask.
Cheers, Scott
Dear Scott,
Here are more pictures. I hope they are what you need. There will be more in the next post.
I have some ore info about the helmet. It was used in a test pilot training school – does that help?
We are thinking of putting it on e Bay before the Easter weekend starts if possible. It helps to be able to put a handle on things. I will re-post here when we do.
Again many thanks to you all, for all your help.
Many thanks to Scott, Lester and Matt for all the info. I only just spotted the replies. Very helpful, albeit quite confusing for us! I will do additional photos in the next couple of days and will look forward to seeing any further answers.
Best wishes
I am still looking for an answer to this if anyone can help at all.
Many thanks
Many thanks – I am still having no luck with this. If anyone knows of any other forum which may help, please tell me. I have tried PPRuNe with no success as yet.
Many thanks – I will look into those options.
You don’t happen to know what it is do you?
If I posted this in the wrong forum, please would someone tell me – thanks!
