Hi,

Can somebody confirm which ex RNLAF FK27 is preserved at the gate please? I understand the aircraft is marked 'C-8' but is it the original C-8 or is it C-12 marked as C-8.

Regards and thanks

Mark

First C-8 was put there, later they swapped C-8 and C-12, putting the C-8 demo c/s on C-12. Then C-8 was used for towing exercises. So C-12 is now at the gate, spotting C-8 false regi. (Actually, the c/s is not exactly the same as C-8's, but I don't recall what is the actual (small) difference, something about the titles.)
