4maststacker,

Thanks for those links. The Aeroshell 4 hydraulic oil is in fact a "mineral" based oil, whereas the Nimrod used a "vegetable" based oilfield OF4 (Oil Fatty). As you link clearly explains that the Lancaster hydraulic system was mineral based, you have answered my query, and the static rig I was talking about had probably been converted to OF4 (Natural rubber seals as opposed to synthetic rubber) at some point, and the old adapters simply left in place. Thanks very much for the help. As for only being a stacker, we all had a job to do, and supply squadron looked after just about every function.
