NASC Helmet.
MkII Helmet worn by a member of the National Association of Spotters Clubs, an organisation formed in 1941 for the furtherance of the recognition of aircraft. The NASC issued their own water slide transfer for use on helmets and this particular helmet features two, to front and rear of the black, hand-painted helmet. Although the rim stamps are difficult to decipher, the shell was probably made by Fisher & Ludlow Ltd of Birmingham in 1939 with the liner, a size 7, by Briggs Motor Bodies, again in 1939. Both transfers are substantially intact with paintwork rating at 75%+. Scarce helmet.
