None fitted as I recall either, JS, we're on the same limb now, you and I.

There was the little gasper fan which only fed cold air from the packs to the individual outlets, which could be on or off or somewhere in between. At full on (all outlets fully open) I seem to remember being told the flow was about 1/5 of the total. I don't think the fan was much of a fuel saver since its air source is pack supplied.

I guess people prefer a fan of stale air over a dribble of cool air.
Same sentiment IC for us in hot and humid areas and as to your last observation, apparently!
