You got it.... a bulldog was invovled in the inspiration!

The troop platform of the Normandy landers does have an influence here as

it and the working of the legs.  The workaround is the winch with hook to
lob the poor lads over the side.

Thanks for the comments!

Cheers,

Looking at the MOC, I am reminded of the landing crafts that were used by
the US Army in D-Day, with the craft dropping its front doors to let the
troops  out...can this craft open up to deploy troops?
