Shorts Belfast

On a kind note ,
I remember reading an article in Aircraft Illustrated around 1969 entitled DragMaster to Singapore, a nickname given to the aircraft by R A F crews, as apparantlly the first 4 production models of the Belfast in R A F service suffered from severe drag problems,that was supposed to corrected in later production aircraft, but I don't think they ever where.
