Hi Airboatr

The Trident Nose gear was offset so that it could retract sideways and save space as extra space was needed for all the electronics for the Blind Landing system. That system gave good space ahead as well as behind across the whole width.

The Blind Landing meant a lot more avionics than was the norm until then.

I did CB but the it was extra avionics because of the Blind Landing that need space.

The Blind landing had not been mentioned.

Don't forget that the Trident avionics were early 60's technology and, of course included the triplex autoland: that's a LOT of bulk to fit underfloor!

Cheers,
