How does the No 1 engine package (ie including accessories) differ from the other engines? Generators, say? Could it be that the No 1 package was also common to some other type that was a twin, and would thus have had the exhaust on the port to protect the pilot's night vision? Yes, I know that the Mosquito for one had port and starboard exhausts on each engine, but, in an ideal world ........ Just a thought.
