Fuel Jettison

I have just read "Victor Boys" by Tony Blackman, which I can heartily recommend. However, it contains several factual errors, largely concerning dates, but another is regarding fuel jettison. The book contains an assertion that the Victor had no fuel jettison capability until the introduction of the K2, which is patently untrue as the SR2 had that facility long before the K2 came into service. As my only Victor experience was on 543, I don't know if the B2 shared that facility. Would any ex-100 or 139ers care to clarify the matter?
