We used to have problems getting the big (9') cargo door to close on the HS-748 if there was too much weight in the rear section. It wasn't as much of a problem with the original factory built pressurized aircraft, but it still happened. I flew some modified unpressurized "big door" hawkers that were always a pain to close with a load on, but that was due to insufficient strengthening during the mod.
