Think you will find this is the plastic replica marked "XX308"

XX306 is still supposed to be Scamptons gate guard at some point in the future the pads are ready outside the station head quarters. I've been told that if the Reds hadn't been in Cyprus last March 2013 the museum would of never got the Gnat which used to stand outside the Reds hangar.

I can confirm XX245 is configured as noted above due to Red 1 having to fly that jet for the Friday Show at Gilze Rijen 2014. His regular mount having gone u/s on the UK-NL transit flight.
Used again today at the Sunderland show after one of the jets went u/s. They were delayed by about 15 mins or so, I'd guess that a problem was only found as they went through pre flight checks.
