“Ranger” is the call sign of VMGR234, was 763 just being delivered by VMGR234 or has the aircarft recently changed unit ?

[Rch135]

No Idea but that was the Markings the Aircraft Carried on Arrival guess we wont know the Answer until it departs and see what Callsign it uses then.
It Might be The Crew were VMGR-234 that Brought it over as They were picking up a QH aircraft but i dont really know.
Have Amended my Post to reflect your Comments Apologies for Confusion.

We Have Had an Earlier Aircraft we had in change unit while at Cambridge.
