I had it... twice! First time the rear pin was badly engaged, second time
the passenger shocked the handle with his elbow. Both time the door departed
---From the plane. The (only) good thing was to demonstrate that the ship still
flies very well, in spite of a mark visible on the rudder.

Objet: Europa-List: Re: In flight noticed the rear door pin out -horror
Exactly the same happened to me three years ago. I also notices the air
coming in through the throttle slot. I also fortunately managed with the
help of the passenger to close the door. I also posted my mishap on the list
and Barry Tennant was so kind to have a look at my then deformed door
(contacted the upper frame) and fix the problem with a rasp :-)
Good thing is, that I never forgot this item prior take off once again :-)
