Was thinking about this and at first thought "who was the first i saw in a full faced helmet?",then it came to me .......Juri Gagarin!!!! He won the race into space with a full faced helmet.Quite possibly though Laika was a predecessor,and then thinking about it more maybe my great grandad who was a deep sea diver in the Navy beat them all :lol:

...and. yes, I get the irony dear boy!

 

I can go further back than that however...Buster Crabbe as 'Flash Gordon!' (or was that Ming the Merciless?)

...even further back. Ned Kelly!

Yeah,Ned Kelly would be around the time of my great grandad give or take.Bit further back than Flash Gordon ;)

But his job(Deep sea diver) was going even further back.Around 1830

 

And of course if you consider Ned Kelly's head piece to be a full face helmet then why not one of the old Knights?Not Milton Keynes,i hasten to add :P Or Romans or or or
