Vickers Varsity

Here's the one they've got at Brooklands, apparently in very good condition and I managed to visit on a nice sunny day to take my photo.

Also, some time in the very early 1970s, what I took to be a Varsity, flew over my parents' home in south M/C, with, I'm pretty sure, the serial WJ462. However, when I looked this up just now in "British Military Aircraft Serials 1911-1971," Ian Allan, it is identified as a Valetta, which I would have thought were all out of service by then. Anyone know?
