Air Inlet Mast -
UPDATEWhile researching the Air Inlet Trucking Line, I noticed almost all models and drawing are incorrect. Most have believed that the trucking line come out at the bottom of the mast as in
Fig. 2. However, as seen in the two wartime photographs below (
Figs. 3 & 4)
Fig. 1 is correct.
