A post on twitter shiwing it being lifted off it's pole yesterday, will be kept as an instructional frame at Marham for the fire service. Another GR4 will take it's place

They could put a F-35 on the pole as they don't fly much,

There is a grey GR4 northside as viewed from the 24 end.
It is a bit distant but does not seem to have the 'normal' tail code plus it has a rudder with four different types , a bit like ZG771 but in grey not black.

Just had another look
Definitely looks grey not black to me , plus there is a roundel in the middle of the tail where the Marham Bull insignia should be. But it still could be ZG771 with a grey tail I suppose.
