ZA543 is the only jet without a tailcode in the fleet.

Apologies for stating the obvious, but for absolute correctness, neither of these aircraft display their codes:
ZA607 (When last seen, still in 41 Sqd markings).
ZG771 Marham Anniversary fin.

ZA585 was retired upon return to Marham on Thursday. Bribing an end to it’s time as fleet leader amassing an impressive 7700 flying hours.
It’s hopefully going to be preserved and not scrapped.

Farewell ZD792, seen her many times low level down here. This is getting really sad now :-(
