Now I know why the autolands were so heavy!

Because autoland was activated on the BA 737-236s, they did something to the ailerons to increase response as I understand the authority was deemed inadequate by the CAA. The result was the darn thing was always wing rocking on final approach, and it was not pleasant doing a manual appoach as the nose was always wandering off-course. You could tell the BA ones coming in on aproach with constantly waggling wings. So there you have it, crab taxi > -200 autolands > aileron modifications!
