How was the Oxygen mask connected to the aircraft and bailout bottle in the RNZAF A-4's? Was it via something like the CRU-60?
...and what sorts of conversions were required to adapt the P/Q Masks to the US systems?

The connector was an MC-3A. The main connection to the aircraft system was a friction fit which puled out upon ejection. The oxygen bottle in the RSSK-8 was connected by a bayonet fitting similar to a light bulb( push,turn). The MC-3A is letter C at this page www.flightgear.dk/connectors.htmor if you want better pics of how it all went together, I have one I can take a pic of for you. No real adaptions neccesary to the mask, just fitting the right connector to the delivery hose. Les. |

That's excellent Les! And that was actually the page I meant to link to in my question  So.. does the MC-3A stay with the aircraft or the pilot? SeanG |
