Kit posted as I was typing, I suspect he is correct in saying the ramps were left behind certainly for heavy drop and as such could be left out of a doorless model but for the doors fitted maybe they should stay if it has a vehicle in the hold.

A couple of pics I found of XM106 in standard RAF Transport
Command colours on a site about busses would you believe.

XM106 in cam finnish, Aden some 3 months before her demise S ident letter

3 pics of XM106 in standard paint scheme and R as the Sqn? ident letter and not the later S.
scroll down to Transport Command (November 1961)

looks great Rick

Rich/Kit..........I went inside XH124 as a kid just before she was retired and well remember the ladder climb into the cockpit

.

Am I imagining it but was there a hatch in the floor of the tailboom for paras to drop out of? :think:

Garry you are not imagining it. 2 of our well lubricated soldiery opened said hatch over the sea on our return trip to Singapore, the loadmaster went mad, not easy to close in flight, there were 3 exits for paras that 1 plus 1 each side of the rear fuselage.

I was amazed when I logged on as to how much Rick had done with your help, Many thanks.

Rich

Rick has done a fine job...all I did was point him in the right direction

One thing I well remember clearly was the tail boom

It was like a cabin of a conventional transport and one could almost forget that it was the upper rear end of the aircraft such was the scale :think:

Garry the big atraction to the tail boom was that it was the only place where smoking was alowed the main hold was awash with avgas.
