I think you'll find these are coming from/going to the USA for tour use. The
plain and permanently fixed cargo doors are required for amphibious
certification.
I am guessing their destination/origin is Norfolk and a connection with a person
who I have found by bitter personal experience, no matter what his attractive
advertisement says, to be a complete waste of space with the engineering skill
of an amoeba.
Don't get me started now !
