As per the title, can anyone confirm the serial of the Red Arrow parked up outside the grand looking College building?

Cheers

No-one? I don't suppose it's XX320 that had a little accident there last year?

Surely one of the plastics. They often put one in front of College Hall for Graduations etc.

Could be, could be. I was a good 200 yards away driving down Cranwell Avenue when I saw it so....

If it's a Reds schemed aircraft then it won't be XX320 as that was a black Hawk that hadn't been painted up in the Reds scheme yet.

Oh yeah, that's right it was on the way somewhere for re-spraying. I can only guess it was plastic!

It's a plastic one that is part of the Babcock exhibition team from Long Bennington.

It could be the same one that was there for the concert the week before , it was due to be left at the college for a parade the following week, this had XX227 on it.

That one's XX177, the first of the ex Shawbury machines for the Reds.

Should be a flyer, though, so possibly not the one seen elsewhere ...
