Was that "whorelike yawing" the reason the MRA4 got all those bits* added to the back end - I don't think any other aircraft, except a small twin from Beech ever had so many "fixes", which showed there was "summat odd aft". "If it looks right ..." and Vicky Verky.
Wrt the Beech, I remember walking across the pan at an obscure corner of Hamburg airport to board a flight to Gothenburg and being confronted by one of these very strange-looking beasts. The "if it looks right..." phrase came to mind then and it was with some trepidation that I clambered on board. However, the biggest shock was the realisation that there was no loo - I was soon wishing I'd known that before indulging in a few beers in the airport lounge! Talk about a close-run thing...
