Steve did that turbo prop have large double doors
Could be like Leif says or I'm thinking ABC Viscount Freighter.

Garry,
No mate. I think Leif got it in one.
The aircraft had to have the seats removed at Manch before the newsprint was loaded. The carpets were still in place, and a roll of plain paper was laid on the floor, to stop the newsprint getting on the carpets.(Which I think were red.)
A lot of water has gone under the bridge since those days...........accompanied by a dram or two.
