The front page of the Cessna POH only has space to record the serial number and the registration of the aircraft. This is important because the official POH is serial number specific.

Unless there is some weird UK only rule, there will never be an official empty weight record in the POH. Lots of people will make a note of the empty weight in the POH but the only official record will be in the aircraft documents as noted in the weight and balance report.

BTW I rechecked the Cessna POH "sample" weight as I provided the 110 lb figure from memory. Cessna gives an example weight of 1238 lbs. This is 58 lbs heavier than your airplane and I have never seen a C 152 with a 1238lb empty weight. The lowest empty I have seen was 1151 lbs.

So here is the deal either

1) You have a "special" C 152 that is magically 70 to 125 lbs lighter than every other C 152 in existence, or

2) The empty weight figure you are using is wrong.
