I'd just like to point out that Airbuses don't taxi sideways or need trim to fly straight, and all spares are genuine. Also, if you knock on the fuselage,
the B team is soft but the A team will hurt your knuckles.

Due to the direction of the production line, this manifests itself in microscopically curved aircraft hence the need for trim.
Ideal perhaps for accelerating along Mumbai's curved center line.

Funnily enough I was having this discussion with a v. knowledgable LTC last week. He suggested it was down to the design of the rudder control cables mechanism expanding/contracting with the change in temperature.
