    If any of our Airborne collectors come across a 1944 dated British airborne helmet with camo 'sand' paint, web chin strap and named to OC one of the companies in 3/Para could they please let me know?

    It was recently stolen in France and there is a crime reference number for it.

    Bit of a long shot, but if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

    Hi Paul, I too will keep a look out for it. Fragging thieves really rip me raw. Im also always still on the watch for Erich Topps stolen items too.

    Take care Paul--C.
