Can you use those neat plastic plumbing systems to transport
the pressurised air around?

There's a version of Speedfit specifically for compressed air. Can't
remember OTTOMH id Screwfix do it, or BES - I know I've seen it somewhere.

we use an ex propane 19Kg gas cylinder filled from a compressor, will pump
up 4 flat tyes on the roadside, very handy for on site work

I hope you are careful, compressors can give a lot more pressure than
propane cylinders need to keep the gas in.

I thought the vapour pressure of propane at room temperature was about
the same as typical compressed air storage pressures. Given the tanks
will be engineered to take significantly over that I can't see there
being a problem.
