Note that these guys are free-fall. Conventional paratroops went out of
the side door/s - just visible forward of the rear hatch.
Such were the aerodynamics of this beauty, there was an area of "dead"
air around the fuselage and we used to have to run out of the aircraft
to get into the slipstream (try running with up to a hundredweight of
kit strapped on to you, plus a couple of parachutes!). If you "dribbled"
out of the door you were sucked under the aircraft and through the stick
coming out of the other side of the aircraft, which did tend to annoy
people.
