As Nev has said the bulkhead is not structural. I discussed this with Barry
Mellers when I redesigned the centre tunnel of G-IANI in 2002. My version
consists of glass flanges onto the tunnel and bolting the bulkhead panels to
them. This means the bulkhead can be removed for access.
Newsletter 24 is dated December 1999. All copies of the newsletter are on
the Club wed site.
To add to the benefits others have listed it is also a secondary fire wall
which would prevent Alasdair's freezing draft becoming a flame thrower.
