thats a great cutaway 8) ill just post here so lightning guy can have look at it, though he probably has seen loads of cutaways before of lightnings 8)
 
I've seen several. The baggage compartment wasn't all that big, but was useful for smuggling contraband (like scotch) into forward areas. More useful was the nose. I read that if the Lightning didn't carry ammo it could smuggle something like 4 cases of Aussie scotch up to the forward bases. These planes would inturn be escorted by Lightnings with a full ammo load.
 
Adolf Galland once flew his Bf-109 to a high level party. He was carrying champagne and lobster with him.
 
It was a joke

Yes, everyone still does it now. I've heard plenty of stories of smuggling stuff through now, like under panels in fighters, they don't get checked
 
What if the last B-36 had its bomb bay turned into a huge keg? The "Coalition" (Allies sounds sooo much better!) could use it as a super long-range morale booster! It's a crazy plan but it would work!
 


or, if a lancaster carried a 22,000lb pinata hanging below it on a few heavy duty chains, and a hurricane and a spit had to shoot at it to break it open to release the sweets hang on, maybe thats why the lancaster is at the BBMF
 
I think a lot of people stood under it are going to die, but again, I'm up for it...
