Absolutely correct, my confusion with one of our other three aircraft.
I was quite surprised this did not get a mention in Pete Jeffries book.
This aircraft was quite odd with a second Nav Stn special floor with fittings for three two man racks and seats. A big power supply rack, extra lox pot and fans with complex cooling ducting under the floor.

It was all ripped out and turned into a flat floor before being shipped off back to 115. Not sure if it went to NZ or South America.
Used to use a fair bit of water meths when we took off from Wyton,

All the drawings of this went up to Waddington along with those of the Varsity on microfilm.
