I heard this second hand so I will let someone back this up before comitting it as gospel!!.
Was once speaking to a chap and he informed me that the easy way to tell if a vulcan had been modded for blue steel was the addition of an extra ariel cowling beneath the port engine nacelles.
It was to duplicate the ariels from the starboard side, countering the blanking effects of the blue steel missile on the radio waves so there was no loss of signal.

Hi John,
You may be correct there as I have also heard this story… As it happens XL319 does have both of these fitted!!
Cheers,
Phil.
