EC135 Bombing Capability
Any truth in the rumour that an EC135 (based at another 'London' airfield) performed a baggage-spreading operation upon departing Denham a few days ago?
I bet it wasn't in the flight plan to go back and pick them up!

Isn't there a little light saying "BAGGAGE DOOR OPEN" or something?
The doors are very big and, if open, you normally cant overlook them, because they are held in open position by gas compression spring.

Quite a few US registered machines have a microswitch fitted in the lower sill wired into the "EPU Door" circuit.
Surprising that it is not standard and the caption changed to read "BAG/EPU Door".
Bravo Jeremy!
As Paco will doubtless remember; even on the Towers LongRanger we had a caution light for the baggage door.
From what I remember .. the switch and its associated wiring wasn't that expensive.

Can we stop speculating please? It was hot as hell this week, if HOLM doesnt have air-con, the pilot may have opened the doors for ventilation..... 
@RVDT: Yet will remain in the closed but not latched position as the gas springs over centre.
