Dornier 28D Air Ambulance/Flying Doctor

Thought I might challenge myself for my post-Wellesley build and pulled out the Matchbox Dornier 28D.

Original 1984 boxing

The kit iself is fairly simple so to add a bit of 'OMG why did I start this?' I thought why go for the standard Luftwaffe scheme when there's an allover white option that I can go nuts on..

SE-EDT, Swedish Red Cross, Biafra/Nigeria 1969

But...cabin internals...?

Any ideas of the layout? If I can't find anything on the original (all external shots so far) I was thinking something like:

The door is to the rear of the side facing seat (where the lip is), and I'll add a rack for the equipment as a rear bulkhead.

Plausible?

...or madness... :)

I've decided to go nuts and do it the hard way...

Actually because it's a Flying Doctor rather than an Air Ambulance, and helped by the fact is a machine from way back in '69, there no need to get overly fancy fabricating defibrillators, heart monitors or other Star Trek goodies.

The Wellesley is ticking over slowly until I get some green paint so I will spend the next day or so figuring out how to make a 72nd scale stretcher.
