Dear forum,
sometimes the Internet is of surprising emptiness.
I am looking for the fuselage diameter of the Hawker-Siddenly Trident (HS121). The HS121 is a single aisle, so it should be somewhere in the 3.7-4m region.
Additional question: I saw pictures of seating charts with a 7-abreast layout. Can anyone confirm this seating arrangement was ever used in service?
Thanks for comments.

A 3-view drawing gives a fuselage diameter of 12 ft 1.5in.

The HS121 website here, http://www.hs121.org/, says ” Internal cabin width is 3.44m and the height is 2.02m. Seating was predominantly six abreast with four abreast in first class and some carriers such as Channel fitted seven abreast in economy to achieve lower airfares.
Might be worth raking through the Trident project thread on here (http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?t=94473) for actual width, or PM Tridentman or Tony Jarret for further details.
