Yes it was Genghis. Additionally, a lot of the wiring looms were apparently fitted before the skin was, so cable replacement was at times impossible without returning the airframe to the Acceptance hangar at Scampton and removing the skin from the relevant areas! Some cables needed to be replaced as soon as the airframe arrived from Shorts as they were tie-wrapped too tightly causing a breakdown in the integrity of the cable. This was commonplace when it came to the co-axial cables feeding various avionics equipment.

I would assume that the Engineers ironed out these problems over time though so my level of interest remains high.
