In answer to your question, No. Strictly speaking, for her display life, 558 wouldn't physically need an oxy system, however, should there be an occasion arise such as fumes in the cockpit etc, then clearly some form of oxy system is required. This could be catered for with a small, portable system, but at the end of the day, this would be classed as a Mod, bringing with it all the associated red tape and expense. 558 will never EVER require the 27,000 litres of oxygen the system holds, but to change the system would be far more costly and time consuming than just making sure it all works as AVRO intended!!
