We always had a list of totally trivial questions to try and catch out the new boys on the mighty C130K. One of which was 'where is the Bomb Door Compensator fitted?' It was of course on the Smiths Autopilot gubbins as fitted to the V force, which was shoe horned into Brit Hercs as part of the deal when we bought them.

My questions is what did the Bomb Door Compensator do? Obviously it makes some compensation when the doors are operated, but what and why?
