| 322.9 | Not exactly a crash helmet. | ARRODS::BARROND | Snoopy Vs the Red_Barron | Thu Sep 24 1992 12:32 | 12 |
| Another question for the panel.
Has anyone heard of the Cockpit Clothing Co?
If not then I'm after locating a place/company that sells leather
flying helmets? A phone number would be ideal but company name and
address will suffice.

| Not sure if it's what you are after, but either the Ripspeed or the
Demon Tweeks catalogue included 'period' racing driver clothing.
They do white 'cotton' overalls of the style of days gone by, but
using more modern materials. They have 'bone dome' crash helmets
and 'flying goggles' to go with these. I seem to recall some sort
of leather helmet being offered too.
If I remember, I'll look these up tonight and let you know.
If you have the number anywhere to hand, you could try calling
both of these companies to ask anyway...
(you could use the notes 'Search Ripspeed' command to try and
find a note with their number in, but that'll be pretty slow)

Re .8
There's a company called Aviation Leathercraft that operates from Thruxton
airfield/racetrack that does leather flying helmets (if they're still there),
don't know the number or address off hand though.

Re.12 Barry
No vintage car, just a friend who wants to buy his wife a present.
A romantic at heart I guess:-)
