Interesting point about the cockpit door though, as a huge proportion of Beavers were sold to the US military who would probably have worn the same kit as the UK Army pilots? I suppose the problem was that the original door design was set in stone before the military customers came along and it was too difficult/expensive to change the door design for later customers.
As for my original questions:-
Spinner colour - looks like a case of 'choose a random colour' then
Fate of written-off beavers abroad - no info so far, but does anyone have any ideas about where to find records that could be used for research (apart from Neil's DHC2.COM website that is)? I'm particularly interested in the UK and US military Beavers.
