Window

Hi Reg,

A slightly belated (away the last two days) thanks for your very full and highly informative posts on the use of Window. Window is mentioned briefly in so many places; books, web, etc. but I had never found an answer to the obvious questions the use of it raised - so thanks very much for answering these, and much more - very much appreciated!

I assume that there had to be an oxygen point by the flare chute if some (temporarily) spare bod was going to be bunging the bundles down for long periods at a time. When moving around a Lanc at operational height, perhaps from the w/op point to the chute, did people always use one of the small oxygen bottles in case they encountered a short delay? (Getting over the wings spars in full kit might qualify as being that...) And did the bottles just dangle or had some thoughtful equipment designer found a way of hanging them on the user?!

Cheers,

Dave
