NO BOB! The movie BoB is completely inaccurate in every sense. They made up the mask themseves (and included a leter was micrphone with it) the helmet was a naval pattern c-type (the c-type cam into use around 1941) and the goggles were mark 7's. Also, the mae wests used in the films were post war frankenstein ones; so BoB (as far as kit goes) gets most of it wrong

Oleg, I am working on the scans. I had a pc crash and lost most of my research so I'll try and get back to you

I did not look at kind of details in the movie BOB, the white sweater and the blue service dress are typical for RAF fighter pilot during BOB.

OK LOL, although the sweater was actually a frock which was roughly knee length. It is a common mistake made in films to make it out to be a sweater when it wasn't. It also, unlike the ones in BoB, wasn't a roll-neck
