Thanks to Gord Crossley for properly identifying the mystery. It is in fact an E Type Canadian flying helmet. Found an image of one on the internet once I knew what to look for!
Great, now I need an airplane to go with the helmet.
Rob, thanks for posting the “decent” photo of me wearing the helmet, I have everyone laughing at the other one of me!
