They took the first wing off and used it as a template to create 24 ship sets. When the first of these was offered to the second aircraft it didn't fit.
I heard a similar story in regard to the Nimrod MRA4, which was of course many years later.
Also, surprised no-one has yet mentioned that (in)famous TriStar ZE705. I heard of its reputation whilst witnessing it undergoing an engine change in ASI. Not bent, but a reputation for causing frequent delays on the SA Airbridge in those days.
