Now the front section of deck has been raised, I took some better photos of the inside of that cabin. Good news is that it is ABSOLUTELY GINORMOUS. Both in terms of floor space and head height.
I have drawn a little representation of me in the picture below so you can get an idea of scale. Obviously this was using CAD software circa 1980 – I.e Paint.
Thinking is now to keep the gap at the front created by the lift and put glass there rather than reinstate any metal. The idea is that this will let light flood into the cabin as shown below…
