One advantage of the offset nosewheel was that it saved the first class pax from the thump, thump of running over the runway centre line lights!

The T3 had the same Xwind landing limit of 30k as the 1 and 2 - but on T/O they were permitted 35k while the T3 was restricted to 30k when the Xwind was from the right, further restricted when the Xwind was from the left to 25k dry and 20k wet.
(No mention of boost being a factor).

For the life of me I can't remember the reason but don't recall any problem with Xwinds with intelligent use of aileron.
