Hey guys, I'm trying to establish if the front cowling vent internal cover was open or closed when the aircraft is parked. AI said closed which kinda makes sense to keep dirt / dust etc out. However the pics of parked aircraft I see online, the vents are open. So was it just a wartime protocol or AI is wrong.

cheers
