From the Maitland Mercury report:
A flying helmet and goggles worn by aviators in World War II have been stolen from the entrance to Luskintyre Aviation Flying Museum.
“The flying helmet was an authentic one we had placed on the head of a model in a sentry box near the front gate leading to the museum,” museum official Frank Williams said.
Anyone with information is asked to ring Maitland police on 4934 0200.
