HI Richard,

Nice logs. I was wondering if you know the identity of the gate guard SF-260 in grey scheme at the main gate. I was on a visit to the museum yesterday (January 28th) and could see it from the road. I understand ST-14 is pole mounted behind hangars and in a camo scheme so suspect the one on the gate is a recently retired example?

Thanks.

Hi Mark, I wished I could help, but I do not know. Most likely candidates are
SF.260D ST44 grey c/s last noted 29.01.2020!
SF.260D ST45 grey c/s last noted 31.10.2018!
sorry I can not help any better

Would also be interested to know what the grey preserved SF.260 is. Richard from your comments above about ST44 and ST45.

ST44 was noted in 06/2019 in a special scheme with a black tail and '50 Years SF260 1969-2019' Any idea when/if that was removed?

ST45 was noted in 03/2019 still in the yellow scheme according to this image: https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/9274253
