Oxygen masks hindered Al expeditions over Kanchenjunga

Air Commodore Fellowes and two other flyers faced oxygen mask malfunctions during a high altitude flight over Mount Kanchenjunga. The issue arose when the mask shifted against clothing, hindering breathing and complicating the mission. The incident mirrors a similar trouble observed by Flight Lieutenant McIntyre and Flying Officer Ellison.

Mount Everest and Kanchenjunga Flight Mask Dilemma

Flying officers faced oxygen mask issues at high altitude during summit flights. Masks pushed goggles upward and one mic lost, prompting improvised handling. Commodore Fellowes struggled with oxygen supply, misread maps, landed near Dinajpur, and recounted dangerous air currents above Kanchenjunga.
