M33 Italian Helmet.This was my first helmet in my collection. This hull was pre WW2, but from the Spanish Civil War and continued in service in Spain. The shell was marked with the letter "B" from the Bassano del Grappa factory and its batch number was 12, a very low number, one of the first M33s made. Its liner size was 56 liner. Its type of rivets were of the first type and its paint was gloss olive green. On the inside of the shell it is painted in the factory light green grey. The shell had an badge on its front.
Above my last M33 helmet that was in service in Spain. The mark on the shell is also "B" Bassano del Grappa and its batch number is 120, which is high for an Italian M33 because it would have been produced during WW2, meaning that Spain continued to receive helmets from Italy after the Civil War. Since wartime has been produced, rivets are of the second type. The helmet is painted with anti-reflective paint, Spanish olive green. In some spots you can see the dark green gray of the factory (Post 1940). Its liner is size 58, and its chinstrap was replaced by a Spanish-made one. It does not have a badge on the front
Rivets of the second type. Wartime production.

Hispano Aviación HA-200/220 Saeta/Supersaeta. The Hispano HA-200 Saeta was a 1950s Spanish two-seat advanced jet trainer produced by Hispano Aviación.
The HA-200 Saeta (Arrow) was the first Spanish turbojet aircraft. It was developed from the earlier piston-powered trainer the HA-100 Triana with the participation of Willy Messerschmitt. The HA-200 was a low-winged monoplane of all metal construction, with a tricycle undercarriage. It was powered by two Turboméca Marborés mounted side by-side in the forward fuselage and fed from an intake in the nose, exhausting from nozzles just aft of the wing trailing edge. The crew of two was accommodated in tandem in a pressurised cockpit, the first to be Spanish built and designed.
The prototype first flew on 12 August 1955, and the first production aircraft flew in October 1962. The HA-200A aircraft were delivered to the Spanish Air Force with the designation E.14. A single seat version (the HA-220) for the ground-attack role was developed and delivered to the Spanish Air Force with the designation C.10, first flying on 25 April 1970, remaining in service until the end of 1981.
The aircraft was built in Egypt under licence as the Helwan HA-200B Al-Kahira by the Helwan Air Works.
