![]() |
The first version of Swiss AF H-5s, provided to jet (Vampire/ Venom) pilots after ejection seats installation. Previously SAF pilot flew those aircraft wearing British C-Type or Swiss "Stoffhauben" with H-type oxygen masks. Compared to "standard" H-5 ( to my knowlege, any help appreciated), here the Swiss modifications implemented: "Standard" British MK-2 visor fitted; LH oxygen mask leather pad reshaped; Six poles comm plug suitable with aircraft original British comm systems installation. Rear comm cable exit supplemental leather hose fitted in order to bend the cable to the left; At the same time, replacing the H-Type mask, the A-14 oxygen mask was introduced, modified with a supplemental diluter valve; Due to "jet only" utilisation, no boom mike "banana mount" installed.
