I'm wondering if maybe there was a programme to retrofit them to Mk 3s as they went to Kirbymoorside for a 'major' because I was the only one there in about June 1965 when the first one (WT871) was delivered from the factory by a Slingsby driver in a Landrover towing a glider trailer. I helped unload and signed for it; he was in a hurry as also in the trailer he had some boats (rowing '8s') which he had to deliver to Henley before dark.
This was followed by, I think, WT 913 a few months later.
