A reversing panel assembly utilizable in an aircraft for the carriage and deployment of stores is disclosed. The panel has two pivot axes. The first pivot axis extends through the center of the panel, and the second pivot axis is parallel to the first and extends through a distal portion of the panel. A first and second cam follower are mounted on the first and second pivot axes, respectively, at each end of the panel. The first cam follower is movable laterally along a first guide track which is substantially parallel to the surface of the aircraft. The first cam follower is movable between a first position and a second position on the first guide track. The first position is centrally located relative to the opening, and the second position is distally located relative to the opening. The second cam follower is movable along a second guide track which extends into the stores bay around the first guide track from one end of the opening to the other end of the opening in a lateral plane which is perpendicular to the surface of the aircraft. In this way, the first and second cam followers can be operated in combination to cause the panel and store to rotate one hundred and eighty degrees about the first axis.
