Hi John
G-DHDV is its current reg number and is owned by Aviation Heritage Ltd, a subsidiary of Air Atlantique based at Coventry.
It displays its former RAF ID VP981 under Registration Mark Exemption Article 10 of The Air Navigation Order 2009
Exemptions from the need to display Marks on UK Registered Aircraft
Article 10 of The Air Navigation Order 2009 states that aircraft registered in the United Kingdom shall not fly unless they bear the nationality and registration marks allocated by the CAA.
In certain cases exemptions to Article 10 are granted for aircraft to fly without bearing UK nationality and registration marks. The CAA Aircraft Registration section policy is only to exempt aircraft which display historically accurate military liveries and marks. The exemption is usually issued for a period of three years and should be renewed on expiry if the aircraft is to remain in those markings
Exemptions will not be granted for aircraft to fly with UK nationality and registration marks smaller than those specified in Schedule 3, Part C of the Air Navigation Order 2009.
Exemptions will also not be granted for aircraft to fly with foreign registration marks even if the UK nationality and registration marks are properly displayed.
However, for filming purposes only, exemptions may be granted for aircraft to bear non-standard markings for prescribed limited periods of time at specified locations.
If the aircraft is to bear military markings permission must be obtained from the Ministry of Defence or the appropriate foreign government and sent to the CAA, Aircraft Registration section. One exception to this is aircraft wearing United States Air Force markings as the US Embassy have granted permission for UK registered aircraft to wear their authentic markings as long as the aircraft type is no longer in USAF use or in their service inventory.
Both reg numbers are linked on the database
