The under wing registration was clearly seen with the naked eye by someone with slightly less than average sight (albeit written down incorrectly,...).

Flyin Dutch, before you jump to conclusions, My wife read the registration , she wears glasses for driving, slightly short sighted, She was not wearing them at the time, was in the garden when our village and adjacent village was overflown around a dozen times lower than anything else she has witnessed there. We often get PFL's into fields nearby. A couple of hours later she wrote the reg down from memory to ask me when I got back if I knew it from our local field. She either mixed the letters up or a read a D as an O or something. When I looked it up on the CAA site it was clearly not the aircraft she saw.
I was merely interested to know if underwing registrations on the standard SEP types such as C172 or PA28 were a standard size and would be visible above 500ft to slightly less than average eyesight, that's all!
