No doubt under one of these (not very) cost effective PFI deals, like Air Tanker...

What a great pity that we can't build our own aircraft, like the French & Germans do!

The RAF Be200s started out with G-RAF* reggies. I saw some at Blackbushe with these reggies when brand new and then they took up their ZK*** military serials. Likewise the Widget Beech 350s that sometimes turn up at Farnborough had civil registrations before taking up the ZZ*** serials that they now have. As we saw a few years ago when they came to FAB to be worked on, the Grob 115s stayed with their 'civil' regs, as did the T67 Fireflies before them (G-BWX* amongst others)
