each seat row having it's own door.
Whilst I was playing with them there was a mandatory mod called for. A requirement for all door locks to be actuated via a master switch up front. In PNG we had couple of incidents where once locals saw their village they would open the door and try to exit the aircraft. The fact that we were still at significant altitude didn't seem to be a cause for concern. :D

I quite fancy one of those DESA Picket Boats. Memories of ramming the Sandquay jetty at Dartmouth as a Cadet in one of the predecessors of those modern ones. Got the "Left hand down a bit" suggestion muddled, then it was "Ev'rybody down!". What did they expect - I joined the Navy to fly, not to drive boats.....
