Any help would be much appreciated
Kind Regards
Al

Interesting, I've been through my log book but the nearest I've got is a Harvard that was under restoration about that time, but was coded 94. This became FE695 and G-BTXI. Maybe there's a more frequent visitor viewing this as there was a lot of comings and goings at Duxford during that period.

Someone might tie it down better if you could clarify the year as it says 2002 in the header and 2003 in the request text.
I thought immediately that it was the Mystere but that turned out, upon checking, to be 57 not 54

Looking at online photos of this, it would be very easy to misread the 94 as 54 if seen from the port side as there is a red panel disrupting the rear vertical part of the 9Mustang531 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 9:35 amInteresting, I've been through my log book but the nearest I've got is a Harvard that was under restoration about that time, but was coded 94.

Hi Al dunn
Not had time to check my note book as yet but my guess would be a...
L4 Grasshopper and would have had a large code of 54 in white on the side... they don't always have a serial on the tail, just the code .
As soon as I get the chance I will have a look in my note book.
Hope it helps.
