Apologies for this relatively simple question, but are the Jupiter's not yet active, just the Juno's?

I think the significance of this sighting is that it is one of the four very recently delivered Jupiters. It might well be the first sighting wearing military marks...

Yes agreed, this is the first time I have seen a Jupiter with hex 43C92B flying so thanks for confirming. It went up to Valley.

Another one is out today 43C92C lifted around 13.05 local routing up towards Chester at the moment as "Shawbury 666"

Flew to Valley 26.8 as SYS635. Today 27.8 ZM498:98 also flew to Valley with ADS-B showing as SYS666. Both confirmed by photos

Brilliant thanks. Looks like they swapped 498 with 501 which came back from Valley as SYS666.
