Tow,
I do not think that the cover was hinged as otherwise they would have had a problem swinging it due to the nose wheel indicator pin as highlighted in the attached photos. Also there do not seem to be any hinges on the front cover. It was likely that the cover was pulled upwards.
Mr Busuttil please note!
