Pretty sure it's a Luftwaffe flight suit, and judging by the splayed landing gear in the background, that's probably a 109.

Where might I get an image that will embed in an email? A couple of knowledgeable German tekkies might have an answer.

This is the original link I've used. The photo was automatically sent to me from Pinterest. The reason I received it is kind of funny: I'm a Ma.K-fan (Ma.K=Maschinen Krieger): models, pictures, history etc. Based on my searches "Big Brother" sends me relevant information or suggestions. One of those was the photo I posted before.
In the Ma.K -Universe there are several figures with helmets (or special head-gear) without any direct vision. I know that the "father" of Ma.K (Kow Yokoyama) was heavily influenced by German WWII - machinery and technology when creating his early designs. The photo in question might have been one of his sources.
For comparison below some figures from Ma.K:

I ran the photo through Reverse Image Search - Google & Yandex Reverse Image Search to Find Similar Images | ImageReverse.io which does a reverse image search in these four search engines and got nothing relevant.

Some kind of Luftwaffe-radar testing "chamber" or a "night vision" of some sort? Or maybe just a prank?

I have asked in Polish DWS.org.pl forum (many smart ww2 maniacs there!), probably it's a blind landing training equipment:

Funk-Blind-Landegeräte

I like the nose on this one, better than the one that tested the 75mm gun.
