Hmm I always thought it was sizing the Trident to BEA's spec rather than the rather larger one they were originally planning.........................

That was always an issue - UK manufacturers needed UK orders to get the ball rolling but then they had to fit in with what BOAC & BEA wanted - and as ever they detailed the spec to try and fit their needs exactly..................
