According to G-INFO, the registration G-CIYF was issued on 15th February 2016 and the entry shows a previous identity of N601FF. Owner shown as "Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar Ltd."
Interestingly, the entry does not (as yet) show the issue of an Exemption Certificate allowing it to display its military serial.
Hex code is [406FFD].

This is still very much belonging to the Collings Foundation and will be returning Stateside once everything here is completed. In their own words:
It will likely end up based in Worcester, MA once it is back in the U.S.
It is registered to the Biggin lot purely as a paperwork exercise for the restoration and UK flight programme.
Cheers
Mark
