Hi,

The following RAF GR4s were noted so far:
GR4 ZD850/111 no mks
GR4A ZG727/126/AJ-J 617sq mks
GR4A ZG729/127 13sq mks

No idea if these planes belong to 12sq/Lossie Wing now.

Regards,

Maurits

As told at the Swedish Air Force air show 2006, unit marks have disappeared from all Gripens, as these machines are pooled between all Gripen squadrons in Flygvapnet.

The U-2 serials are different than reported before, due to a transponder change:

Found the following on a UK forum

68-10337,80-1086,80-1087,80-1071
