Can anyone identify this lovelly little Strikemaster for me please?
What mark (I think it’s an 89, 89a or a 90) is it?
I know it must have belonged to the FAE, but I recall that this photo was taken just a day or so after it was purchased from them, hence the paint scheme.
This photo was taken by me at the Delta Jets Open Day, Kemble Airfield on 27th September 2003.
Do we know her current identity? Ownership? Well, anything really.

Just as a point of interest, as this is not really FAE259, do we know what happened to the original?
Here a photo of the REAL FAE 259 taken for Roger Westehuis

There’s two JP’s based there in addition to the Strikey; a Mk.4 G-BXLO and a Mk.5 G-JPTV. The Mk.4 was supposed to attend Yeovilton Air Day last year, but went u/s.

She’s based in South Africa now.
Albert, there’s a ex-Saudi beautie based up at Humberside Airport in Saudi colours 🙂
Yes, and one at North Weald but neither are ever seen anywhere! Seems owners buy them and just hangar them! 😮

Yes, it’s all there. Actually a former Saudi aircraft and falseley painted to represent an Ecuadorean Air Force machine. Why,I have no idea, as its original Saudi colours would look lovely :confused:
