Xingu code?

Did the Xingu that visited today (74?) carry a code, or do the ex Aeronavale ones remain uncoded?

Wednesday 28th

12.09 Hunter 1 currently on the range

Hunter 1 showing on the tracking sites as Apache AH2 [43C92F] ZM701
It is NOT an Apache AH2.
It is NOT ZM701.

It is an Apache AH-64E, and had ZM700 on the fin when it departed Wattisham as Hunter1.

I'm not sure a couple of AH-64E movements in and out of Middle Wallop for maintenance each month is going to put a massive dent in Wattisham's activity!
