Seeing as all you great Trident guys are here, can I please ask a few questions.
How much was the extra "half engine" actually used on the Trident 3B, was it only if the boost was really needed ? Was it eventually given up and removed ?
Why was the nosewheel offset when virtually every other manufacturer managed to design it in the centre. Did it make any difference when taxiing ?
As the Trident was used on many of the sectors to socialist eastern Europe at the time (1960s-80s), what were the loads like ? Is it true that these trips were often operated virtually empty ?
