Chris Suslowicz Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 A quick rummage on t'Internet finds a possible hit and photograph of an eBay lot (long expired), apparently made by Davies Communications - who now appear to be part of SELEX. That's not much help, but the photo (assuming Google is not lying through it's Artificial Stupidity teeth - it can no longer be trusted, I'm afraid) shows something with twin jack plugs for aircraft use (Like the David Clarke pilot headsets) in Olive Drab. Have you got a photo of the beast (or are all the boxes still sealed)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Suslowicz Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Breaking down the NATO Stock Number a bit... 5965 = 5965 is a Federal Supply Class that contains components such as headsets, microphones, handsets, and speakers that are used for aviation purposes. 99 - is the code for UK categorised items. (i.e. we own that entry.) 330 2287 - is the specific item within that class. LHS appears to have a 3.5mm audio jack fitted (which is very odd for the military), RHS looks like a Clansman multiway connector with a cover fitted - maybe for a microphone or the connecting cable... is there a connecting cable in the pack with the headset? They're obviously for a noisy environment, but not _that_ noisy... maybe helicopter passengers rather than flight deck crew (which had extremely large hard-shell earpieces with liquid-filled seals to keep jet noise out). :-) It's 16 years old, but might be worth asking Selex if they have any information that would help. (The £300 price tag is typical for MoD kit - it covers all the costs of the design, build, transport and storage, etc.) Best regards, Chris.
