There seems to be a bit of misunderstanding concerning Svens questions about the Cobra helmet. The helmet is named Cobra and not used on one. It is painted flat grey and has a black TPL and black earcup set and inner helmet. It uses a single visor with the knob on the left hand cover side. There are clear and tinted visors available but they need to be switched in the ALSE shop..... It also features a boommike and can be fitted with the Anvis goggles set. (type V2 with clip wich attaches to the visor cover.) The label inside the helmet only has a part number and no HGU or SPH type mentioned. It only says "Cobra". And of course manufactured by Gentex. They are now to be replaced with SPH-5 helmets. These SPH-5's are coming from Cougar (AS 352U2) and CH47D units. These units are recieving HGU-56P. Ron Kraan

Here's a picture of the Cobra helmet in my collection. I have had another which I sold about 2 years ago. They (helmets) were almost identical. The monicle is a sighting system for weapons. I don't have details on the weapons systems at this time. Cheers, Steve

This person has also offered me a "Cobra" helmet. This helmet is worn at the Dutch Bo-105CB helicopter. This helmet is similar to SPH or HGU?!? Is it in use at the RNlAF only or does other airforces use this model too? The label inside the Cobra helmet says:
8415-17-908-6101
p/n 2872-1008
size extra large
19/6/4739/12
Hope someone can help me out. With kind regards, Sven Scheffers
