Graham,

Sorry but my previous email went prematurely for some unknown reason. 

I shall try again .........

The little auxiliary latches you refer to on Mal's plane do not guarantee th
e proper engagement of the rear shoot bolts.  I have had several instances w
here the rear shoot bolt has not engaged properly but so far it has been qui
te obvious at the time.   I find the doors are somewhat temperamental to tem
perature and how long they have been left open.  Most of the time they shut q
uite easily but sometimes they are the pits to shut from the inside and the l
ittle latches have no affect in respect of either. 

Cheers mate

Kingsley
