OMG...!
Chris, that is GORGEOUS...! Thank you so much.
So, knowing what I know from the walk-around images in the manual, whomsoever took this shot was standing with their baclk pretty much up against the rear cockpit bulkhead.
Therefore, does that make that square section on the floor a 'hatch cover'...?
Albeit, it looks very small is overall length and width unless of course it continues beyong the photo edge limits at the bottom...? And, is that a 'piano-hinge' down the right-hand (Starboard) edge - the black line?? In which case, that just could be what I'm looking for......
I wonder if this chap took any more pictures while he was in there..??
And, what airframe is this one? The prototype...????
What a mystery......more questions than answers but Dogsbody I owe you a bone for this one, matey.
Best Regards,
