I know this has been asked before, but just in case someone knows, is there a known identity for this aeroplane?
If it’s flying at a display in the UK then surely it MUST at least have a civil registration from somewhere, otherwise it would never have been allowed to fly.
Or did the CAA miss this one ‘cos it sneaked it at the eleventh hour?

The CAA dont miss a thing….even at the last minute. They read this website 😮
I know the reg, but I’m not back home until Tuesday next week for those anoraks who’d like it..

Albert was failing to use the [IRONY] [/IRONY] tags…
Something to do with a certain host organisation and a certain rivalry…

Sorry, don’t understand?
we’ll probably have to read about the identity in a reliable magazine like Aeroplane Monthly.

Albert, it’s a bit infra dig to poke an obliquely snide comment on the magazine and publisher that provide us with this wonderful web site, don’t you think?
Sorry, don’t understand? I was just quoting a reliable source that I read every month. Why, is there another one?

Glad you asked this Willow, as I was thinking exactly the same! I don’t think it has been asked and we’ll probably have to read about the identity in a reliable magazine like Aeroplane Monthly. It probably has got an ‘RA*****’ registration inside the cockpit and perhaps there is someone on this Forum that managed to get a peek inside and can tell us?
