Surely then on the extended luggage bay a reinforced hole could be made in
the shelf  or in my case the battery compartment access door? Luggage will
have to be very carefully placed to close up any such holes or not depending
on summer or winter conditions? Without any more exterior holes.

They tried this is australia when ZK-UBD was VH-UBD and the CO levels went
up to the point where it failed the mandatory CO testing required in
Australia. As a result the vent holes into the aft space were blocked and
the new upper, externally vented, hole created.

ps Ever had a compass fracture in flight and dump the oil over you. I had
that happen to me yesterday - it's smelly horrible stuff!!

I blame it on the climb rate of the aircraft now - the rate of change of
pressure within the compass just blew it apart ;-)
