However I dont think L4 is electric powered
Well considering that I operated the L1 door on G-SILC, took it apart, and missed having to put it back together and rig it (because i was off that weekend when it was being put back together) - when we were doing the check after it left Thomsonfly and before it went into service with Silverjet......and it sure as hell was not electrically operated then - so they must have had it converted since it left our hangar mid-october.

Monarch's 767 does NOT have electric doors (had to fit a slide on one and three of us had to hang on the door to get it closed because a slide was not fitted and the door was open), neither do ZOOM's (I rigged the L1 door handle on one of them sometime last year).

But of course, I defer to your superior knowledge.
