ZK456 and G-RAFK (ex ZK451) were delivered to Guernsey this morning, with ZK459 acting as crew ferry.

G-RAFL (ex ZK452) was initially intended to depart today but was replaced by G-RAFK (which was due to depart tomorrow 28th March).

Didn't realise they were getting rid of these so quick.

Last i heard from someone on 45 squadron they were around for another year before being fulling replaced by the Phenom.

The remaining 4 King Airs have returned to their previous UK civil registrations ( G-RAFD, G-RAFO, G-RAFP & G-RAFU) in the last couple of days according to G info.
