My display of flying helmets for CockpitFest 2010:
For 2010 I created a display stand for the helmets, which got branded by main Cockpit Fest sponsor Ken Ellis the "Helmet Tree".

I also gave visitors another vintage fast jet experience by demonstrating a PTR-175 Radio Set from a T5 Lightning. People could listen to the actual sounds that most British aircrew of the cold war era heard. See here for more info.
