>>A horizontal pin protruding outwards from each door recess just under the
handle and engaging with a socket in the door would assist in aligning the
door in the frame when closing<<

A neat solution, suggested by Jonti Docker, (who makes all our fuselages)
is a vertical pin extending down from the mid point of the door bottom
rail, engages a hole in the lower door frame. If the door isn't aligned
correctly it won't close. If it is it can't blow outwards. Apparently it
has been known for doors to curve outwards at high speed, one's shirt gets
sucked into the gap. Check with Andy Draper if there is a problem.
