There is speculation that the AEW Research & Development work conducted by 1453 Flight from Topcliffe (1953 to 1956) may in fact be a cover story for classified radar reconnaissance operations over the Eastern Bloc. Their Neptunes appear to have carried full defensive armament, which seems inconsistent with R & D flights.
