Just rotated from Heathrow runway 10R. The British authorities considered the type lacking in yaw stability so before granting a CAA type certificate they insisted on the taller tail-fin and ventral fin. Boeing concurred and made the modification retroactive on all existing and future airframes. This photo is copyright © M D West, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
