Sound idea I guess, can see how the navs would have complained initially though. After squirming up into the nose you had a great view of the outside world and could judge your camera shots better.
Have a picture of a
bird strike on the nose glazing of a B(I)8 which shows the damage that can be done. Not a pretty sight inside either.
Yes, panniers were used for "stuff" but we also tended to carry crates of Keo in the nose. In fact that's how I managed to first screw up my back, by trying to lift one out in the restricted kneeling position.

In an Oz Canberra? Recall the number?
