Paul,
It most certainly was. It was recorded as such in the South Marston despatch book as a cancelled Mk 22. I believe it was part built at CBAF and transferred to SMAF. This was later verified when I removed the SMAF cockpit plate during the restoration. Etched with an electric pen on the back of the plate was written PV585. Not many with true dual identity I will wager.
Peter.
