Lancastrian vent?

I have just obtained an old wooden 1/72 Lancastrian.
Can anyone explain what the vent on the right fuselage above the wing is? Thanks Mike

Looks more like an intake - possibly for a fuel-powered cabin heater

Thanks chaps. Yes I see now it is for a cabin heater.
I am very impressed with some of the details on this model.
Will now have to put some thought for an airline colour scheme.
