I have used the RAF Type H, which edges into the cheeks somewhat, and

That was the kind that we wore in the fifties , sixties etc. Sort
of a dark green colour and they had a carbon microphone in them
for the intercom system.

Yup, Gord, that's the one; still very much in favour as the 'H' will
plug into both the WWII 'C' helmet loom and the post-war 'G' canvas
helmets.

If you want a good laugh, let me have your mail id and I'll send you a
picture of me taken last year after a Tiger Moth flight; with my H mask,
C helmet, the C jack plug shoved into a NATO converter and then into a
carbon mike convertor box - everything dangles (including me - I'd just
finished stretching my back when the shutter was snapped).

Cheers,

Dave
