Ah, but it was. Nothing is ever perfect but at least we were able to encompass such problems in our procedures by virtue of the fact that if it wasn't fit to fly it wouldn't fly.
The Rover 75, for example, has water drainage problems in the plenum, but it is known about and we take such things into account in our maintenance.
The incidents which ought to have highlighted this problem have only occurred in recent years, when the rot had already set in.
