Sorry Peter it did look like a Manchester but does have four engines and was taken late in the war.

I dunno where the Lancs Oxy charging point is situated, but is the rear bomb bay wall a possibility? Here's a recent snap from E Kirkby. Sorry for the exterior flare, it was a v bright day.

Thanks for sharing that shot I think all the pipework on the rear wall is associated with the adjacent door operating rams ??

Could be. I had a look in my copy of The Lancaster Manual, but there is v little on the oxygen system. A schematic diagram gives nothing, and a cutaway notes only that a "crate" (their word) of bottles is hung on the port fuselage between the rear door and turret. Maybe it was topped up internally by someone who had to be in the aircraft to do it?

Oxygen charging point is a pipe connection on I think either the port or stbd side bombay valance above the bombdoors at the c section for charging the c section crew rest cage that contains the oxy bottels.
Cheers,
Peter

I assume it is not the repros that some sellers were passing off as originals or at least not stating they were repros!

It's a scanned copy on disk which is handy for ease of filing.
