Open door on Herc

Last eve a very low flying herc sailed past the window (LFA7 (T)(Mid Wales)- "Look" says jimgriff junior- "the back door is open"- and lo- it was too! The ramp that is not the troop jump doors.
Opsec permitting why would this be?
There was nothing following- so not a camera ship
Not near a training drop zone (and I didnt think troop drops used the ramp unless it was for a HAHO or HALO drop.
No-one on ramp with a gun- so not practicing rear gunner skills!
Could it merely be for air circulation in the cab? It was V warm.

Just curious
