The 1-11 518 srs. for Court Line had a fixed droop to the leading edge which was developed to allow max weight ops from Luton. Most others after this had the same. Not sure if earlier A/C were modified though.
There were also plans to re-engine the 1-11 with Tays and JT8s but, with the exception of the Dee Howard aircraft, came to nothing.
More wing improvements were trialed on "YD" as the 670 srs.
