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?

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?

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

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.
