tomdocherty72 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I am trying to establish the colours of the oxygen? bottles on the port side of the rear cockpit of the NF11. I have trawled the internet looking for images of this cockpit with no luck and none of my Meteor books are of any help either. Anyone know the answer?

neilfergylee Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 For what it's worth. I seem to remember that oxygen bottles are black with a white top. The picture below is of industrial bottles but from my days at Normalair-Garrett (very much oxygen systems people), they are consistent with my memory. What scale are you modelling?

Sky dancer Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Hi Tom, There is a long-running thread over on the Key Publishing Forum (Flypast) - they are restoring an NF.14; think it is actually an NF.14(T). Lots of close-up photos, I'm not sure if they have any of the oxygen tanks, but I'm sure they will know where to find them. Here is the link:- https://forum.keypublishing.com/forum/historic-aviation/140511-a-w-meteor-nf-14-ws788-restoration-thread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canberra kid Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I had an Oxygen tank from a Canberra which was all black with white lettering very much like the ones in Julian posted. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
