322.0. "Crash helmet." by MARVIN::BETTS (Safety Fast) Mon Sep 26 1988 12:28

    
    Snetterton Circuit now requires the use of crash helmets. Could
    anybody lend me one for a week end (12th and 13th November)?
    
    I haven't a clue about sizing - but I do wear glasses if thats
    an issue...

322.9Not exactly a crash helmet.ARRODS::BARRONDSnoopy Vs the Red_BarronThu Sep 24 1992 15:3212
    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.

    Thanks for the leads guys.

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