There was one that was on a trailer, spotted a few months ago at Bankstown in New South Wales.

Sycamore XG544, was last seen in Cornwall years ago, alleged to have gone to Wales, but not seen since.

The Red Bull example is not XG544, it is an ex-German Forces example painted in RAF colours.

There is an airworthy Sycamore in Austria (not Australia) painted in RAF colours, but that example has no British military history. It was painted up as XG544 but now sports XG545 according to the report in the following link:

SFAIK the real XG544 is not with Red Bull.
