> (In reply to UKC Gear) The brand of helmet mentioned at the start should be Compton not Crompton
You pedant! But I totally agree. Made by a company also engaged in the production of police helmets at the time if I recall. 2 models. The original was fairly minimalist but the Mk2 was full on with a 'chin strap' which had a plastic chin cup on it absolutely sure to fill with sweat if you got woried Of course the snowdon mouldings / JB helmet was in there pretty quick.
