If I’m not mistaken the ‘authorities’ axed that project.
I cannot remember that plan. The B-25 used to have a fixed cargo pallet in the bomb bay that held spare oil, some parts and crew luggage. On the bottom a large sign showed one of the sponsors when the bomb bay doors were opened. With that in place, I don't think a Mini would have fit as well. Sounds like a story that originated in the bar if you ask me

Getting back on topic, my vote would be for a Bristol Freighter. No need to skimp on the car in that case!
