DH , my apologies , when your lifetime guarantee runs out the memory does funny things . Of course it was AI , a good mate was the P3 [ before flt engineers ] on the overrun . I'm guessing [ not being an eng.] , that the stressing and repairs made it best if she stayed a -1 .
I don't remember any different aerials , 'tho the overrun was in '83ish and I only went onto the fleet in '96 . Many things could have changed by then .
The LGW and MAN to BAH and on to GOA had a First class fit , which knocked about 2 doz. pax [ 2 tonne more fuel ] off the normal 393 . Gave us a fighting chance of getting back from BAH to UK without techstopping . 393 seats went back for the summer season .
Supposedly a Tristar Royal suite covered up in the back of the Airtours hangar !

rgds condor .
