I joined Monarch in 1977 and can confirm the 170Y config. Although 9ft longer, the 707-123B's G-BFMI and G-BGCT were also fitted 170Y; this so that aircraft changes for whatever reason (usually technical) could be accommodated smoothly. At some stage an extra seat appeared from somewhere, not sure how or where, making them 171Y.
