Maybe “AR654”? – which was Mk VIII G-BKMI’s identity at the time.

That probably explains it, Tony. And Mark12 is right, I should’ve googled before opening my trap. 😮

and I can’t recall any sign of AR614 flying while it was in the UK.

First post restoration flight in the UK from Audley End on 5 October 1996.
Final display to a private function 14 May 1999.
Dismantled for shipping to the USA circa December 1999.
I found all this in a boo…

Huh, I’ve always had it in my head that 614 was present as static, ( I don’t think it had it’s permit to fly, yet) but I’m probably misremembering.

20 flying each day according to Flypast and 22 present in total. I think your list is missing PL983, SM832, MK912 for the attendees.
MK912 was static only. According to the show report MK356 flew Saturday only and MK732 only on Sunday.
All made complicated by the fake Pearl Harbor codes on several aircraft.
AR213 is definitely not listed as present and I can’t recall any sign of AR614 flying while it was in the UK.
