Watching a video of a brand new 321/3 on test in 1988, I remembered the very first units had a poor quality first class section which caused an uproar by disgruntled passengers on the GE. The window layout with two identical windows shows this, I'm sure the spacing of the seats was one issue, hence why the smoking compartment could accommodate eight, but think the seats were grammar seats in a 2+2 layout, soon replaced by the existing seats as used in 442 standard class. The layout was changed before the 321/4s got built, hence why one window was reduced in size behind the drivers cab. Did first class have bad seats? Does anyone have more info and / or pics?
