Measurements carried out across the fleet identified that the delta between the longest and shortest airframe was in the region of 18 inches!
Reminds one of the (apocryphal?) tale of when the Tincanos first arrived at Linton.

There was to be (allegedly) a publicity photie with them all lined up neatly side-by-side on the pan.

When it was dicovered you could line up the front (prop) ......

..... or line up the back (tail) ........

..... but not both!!

Any truth in that? Good dit anyway.
