I was being ironic ref the Beverley so as not to upset its many fans. I understand about smoke/fumes in the air (had a fire under the flight deck floor once when carrying three LOX pallets to Belize) but was under the impression that a bottled oxy system similar to that used by Jate for 35000+ft free fall para was under consideration for various tasks. I have been out of the RAF for a long time and it looks like it got nowhere. I believe that several C130H operators opted for gaseous oxy as opposed to LOX for obvious reasons. Has the J got LOX ?
