A nacelle for an engine has outer and inner cowl doors that are independently rotatable about offset hinge lines. A connection device is provided for selectively connecting the outer and inner cowl doors so as to cause them to open simultaneously. The inner cowl door is arranged to rotate by a greater angle than the outer cowl door so as to improve access to the engine for maintenance purposes.
