Paddy Jones

Happy memories of Paddy in the late 80's at Skyline in Booker, where he taught me to fly. Have tried to find him over the years but to no avail.

Crew oxygen supply

Are there two completely separate bottles/regs/valves etc, ie independent systems for each pilot?

Is there a portable oxygen supply stowed in the cockpit?
