I would have thought if she was a flier there would be som sort of serial on it :think:

But maybe not :think:

Looks like she's in good company. Is that a Jet Provost I see along side?

That's what I thought Alex but I'm not sure about that jetpipe :think: The rest of it looks 'Provost-like' though

The registration is most likely under the horizontal stab (i.e. elevators). In the US, aircraft which wear a "historic" scheme are allowed to place the registration and other odd bits in black or white underneath the horizontal stab in 3-inch high letters to maintain the paint scheme. It is however missing the "Experimental" letters under the canopy that should be there, so it's not 100% legal.

Also, are you sure that's not a Strikemaster next to the Gnat? It looks to have hardpoints on it.
