There are many possibilites with the cargo door, here a field kitchen is unloaded. I have pictures of barrels, potatoes, motorcyles, strechers and such being unloaded. Possiblitites are unlimited.

Thanks again Paul, your coming up with some really good stuff and I'm definitely hooked on something stowed within the airframe that will be seen through a cabin wall dissection and with lights. I've found me an engine and I have loads of jerry cans, boxes and such that could help to fill it.

Sadly Dave a diorama is out of the question, I've no storage space not after the Catalina project GB.8.
