Second Finnish Hornet

A report on MSF has two Finnish Hornets listed, HN-427 and 445.
The former arrived on Wednesday, I have no evidence of the latter arriving.
The report also has a number of other mistakes, so I'm taking it with a very large pinch of salt. Nonetheless, I'd rather not miss it tomorrow if it is there.
Any thoughts please?

427 flew, apparently 445 - the one I needed! - landed late Friday afternoon.
Thanks for your excellent lists by the way - a great help.

I'm slowly becoming more convinced that 445 isn't at Fairford. Unless it arrived and went straight into a hangar, nobody has seen it, there's no photos of it, it's not visible north or south side.
So if it didn't arrive...why has someone reported it as present? Very odd.
Anyway, glad the list is helpful Steve!

I was there from 06.30 to 19.30 on the Friday and a second one definitely didn't arrive in that time!

HN-427 was parked in the Static, so also did not fly.
No idea where HN-445 came from?
Shame as also needed by me.
