Re: Mk.1 Spitfire Bayonet socket:
The Mk.III Oxygen Bayonet Socket types A and B are externally identical. The internal arrangement is different.
The Mk.III A has no internal valve; merely a rubber washer to provide an effective seal with the end of the “L” shaped plug attached to the pilot’s oxygen tube.
The Mk.III B is fitted with a non-return valve which closes when the “L” shaped pilot’s oxygen tube plug is removed.

The Mk.III B plug (Ref: 6D/101) may be used with the Mk.III A socket; but the obsolescent Mk.III A plug cannot be used with the Mk.III B socket.
