Is it a vicious rumour or is there any truth in the anecdote that no two Tucanos are the same size?
.... Did hear from a very reliable source that just as they entered service (Cranwell? Linton?), a whole ruck of them were lined up smartly on dispersal for a publicity picture.....

...... when it was discovered (by the photog!!) that you could line up the noses ...... or the tails ....... but not both!
