Oxygen in the WWII Lanc

Hi Cliff and Reg,

I wondered if I could ask your opinion of the oxygen systems you experienced in the Lancaster. I understand it was pretty basic - just a bunch of cylinders under the rest station, and no clever processing of the gas - how did it feel to actually breathe it? Was it cold, dry, etc? Did you find it any effort to take a breath or was the system pretty well balanced?

I'd be most interested to hear about anything that comes to mind.

Thanks,

Dave

Molemot: we had sunshine at the weekend - I was just as stunned as the other respondents...
