I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

According to the notorious Suvorov the same was true of the B29 that landed in Russia after bombing Japan. It was copied down even to the internal paint spec and a random holein one wing. When a second landed with a different paint spec and no hole and a 3rd with a mix of paint they continued to replicate the first as that was what Stalin had ordered.

Load of Bull really.
