.....but necessary!

Thanks to a former Wanganui Aero Work pilot, I now have a bonedome of my own:



However, over the years it seems to have suffered. I'd like to return it to something of its former glory, so I seek a visor (or just visor cover), as well as inoperable boom mike. This is strictly for display, I have NO CURRENT INTENTION of flying with this kit.

Please drop me a line or post if you have anything of interest, or know where I may get spares.... ???

You helmet geek Deane...... You got it correct though. It is an SPH-4.

I still have my old SPH-4 that i saved from being destroyed when we changed to the Alpha's. I had a friendly S&SWKR paint it up in the colours and pattern that we had the helmets in for Helimeet 89 in the UK.

Ok, SPH4 parts....
I have visor cover and dual ramshorns for a dual visor setup, and possibly a clear visor you can have if you like.... You pay the postage they're yours if you want 'em

You will still need tracks, plus nuts and bolts etc for which I'd go to www.flighthelmet.com I buy most of my helmet and flightgear parts from them smile.gif

I've got 3 complete APH-6B helmets as used by our strike pilots pre intro of the Alpha Helmets. I'd be happy to swap one for a SPH-4. The one I have to swap is white (ex 14 Sqn as has black visor cover with white diamonds) and I can send photos next weekend if anybody interested. Twin visors in excellent condition. Also comes with the two sliding clips for attaching the oxy mask (see the last pic on the link above). In pretty good second hand condition, but NOT suitable for real flight use !!
