Hi 'slogen51',
I heard it on approach and then picked it up on ADSB where it's details were displayed. I admit it is not 100 pc certain as there are no easily identifiable marks. But as they only have two (F-RAFA and B) I'm reasonably happy with the id.
Will check on egph movements site later to double check.

Very nice!
A more interesting question - is it legal to fly an aircraft lacking external civil registration or military serial number?
Note to self: Prepare case ready for the ECJ (european Court of Justice) to consider, or some other (more international) court.
Cheers, TM74
