Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. Officially called Goggles, Flying, Mk VIII, Stores Ref 22c/930 this is an incredible mint condition un-issued pair still in the original box which is completely labeled and includes a set of tinted replacement lenses.
The MkVIII goggles were the final and most successful of the RAF issue flying goggles during the Second World War. Introduced officially in October 1943, they were not supplied to aircrew until the earlier stocks were exhausted. The MkVIII's continued in RAF service until made obsolete by the introduction of fibreglass helmets fitted with drop-down visors.
