The Scout was cleared for doors removed for flight. The AAC used them extensively in Hong Kong (660 Sqn AAC) with doors removed so they could lift the Chinese Illegal Immigrants (using Gurkha Regiment soldiers) crossing from China trying to reach Hong Kong. Quite a few pictures on the interwebs if your google-fu skills are up to it. The normal configuration was rear doors off, but all doors could be removed. There also were "flat" rear doors and "bulging" rear doors to accommodate a wider rear bench seat and more pax.
