I don't know if the CAA required any modifications to this variant. In any event, it was again Dan Air that introduced the 200 to the UK in about 1980.
Weren't the 707 and 727, and all their derivatives and variants, fantastic aeroplanes ?
The D.P. Davies Royal Aviation Society audio interviews provide a fascinating record of both the 707 and 727 UK certifications
