        I am completely comfortable with flashing OS's via fastboot. Is it possible to lay hands on .img files which can be directly flashed onto the device?

          Ok, dug through the source to obports-installer, looks like most of the goodies hang off of:

          https://system-image.ubports.com

          In particular:

          https://system-image.ubports.com/ubports-touch/16.04/devel/hammerhead/index.json

          which tells you where to get bits for various versions. The latest, currently 72, says that there's bits at :

          /pool/device-e34756d822387fa9371568fa42292f8baf76d79ec7f2cee0f5c002b909dc08f5.delta-device-cc610cfc131187e182588a0f9c7c5c23ba769679708a4ba08b16878f4e93c101.tar.xz

          which, once you pull it and "xzcat device-e3* | tar -xvf -" will give you boot, recovery, and system img files. I booted just to the bootloader and fastboot flash'ed those partitions, and my phone still boots OK. So I guess I'm at least sorta on the right track....
