OK it was not the Nose Wheel Bay but does that make it less serious? My question was what inspections if any should be carried out in this area between flights?
Less serious? No. But a damn site harder to see from the ground. See my earlier post to answer your second point.
Just a thought, how about placing a couple of mirrors inside the well
that can be viewed from the ground for easy inspection.. .
Good idea except someone would then be tasked with cleaning the mirrors regularly (Remember the 737 direct view mirrors for the landing gear downlocks? They got cleaned every night didn't they? ). Easier just to open the doors and do a full visual inspection during the Transit Check.
