VIP RAF Britanias

Learned Contributors,
Not sure if this should be here or on the military forum.
“Does anyone know if RAF Brits being used on VIP flights or to support Comet VIP/VVIP flights or on sensitive flights had additional radio kit fitted for the mission?
Thanks in anticipation of your time and trouble.”
Be lucky

David,

The RAF had three Britannia C.Mk.2s which differed from the Mk.1s in that they were permanently fitted out as passenger aircraft and were used for VIP transports or standard troop transport as required. These were XN392, ‘398 and ‘404. I know nothing about them being used for sensitive flights or having special radio equipment fitted.
