Some very nice shots

[XPLUMBER]

I would "GUESS" that the helmet you've spotted is a lead on from the Harrier Helmet Mounted Cueing program!

Hi Brian.

And if look closely the pilot is wearing a desert flying suit as well in that shot.

Hi Guys,
I got a closer shot of the helmet & has was looks like black stick on patches on the helmet, & he was definatly wearing desert camo flight gear. I post it but I still haven't sussed out how to post a picture. The Typhoon BV which lost its bombs was also flown by a female pilot too.
