Was the long static air pitot tube above the radome bent a little bit at the very end?
Cant tell with pictures on the net, Yeovilton is a bit to far away at the moment for me.

Does this photo help? It's a little out of focus but you can see the shadow below the pitot tube which seems to match the highlight above it, suggesting that it's parallel until the taper at the tip.
Google image search could probably find a better image.
Like this maybe?

No, it's straight...
