When I was on the Orange Harvest bench at St.Mawgan I, along with another fitter was sent to RRE at Pershore. There was a MK11 that had been fitted with an IR Linescan and they had had to modify the OH installation. The Linescan position was set up in the galley, the bunks being removed along with all of the equipment located beneath it. The detection head and associated electronics was in the bomb aimers position.
I'm fairly sure that this was intended to go to 205 Sqdn in Singapore for a special op. In fact the aircraft came through SM a few weeks later. As it turned out the OH didn't work, a cable made locally was faulty. We were amused when the foreman apologised that it would take 30 minutes to make new one because it was pay day. We were lucky if a similar cable could be obtained under three months. I can't remember the aircraft serial no. but I sure that it can be found in Chris Ashworths book. I suspect that there are ex 205 guys who probably remember this one off fit.
