RAF and Autoland

I read in a recent report that the Vulcans were equipped with Autoland in the wake of the 1956 Heathrow crash but I understood that the Autoland system was developed specifically for BEA and its Trident fleet in the 1960s.

Did the RAF develop a similar or more basic system before its introduction by BEA as I have also been told that the RAF Belfast fleet was also Autoland equipped as were the ex-BA Tristars that the RAF had after BA but when introduced into military service the Autoland facility was removed or not used?
