I note the Grob G120TP's are on the civil register
'were' would be the correct word.
As a contractorised contract, maximum effort is put into the paperwork. The aircraft are test flown by Grob with a German D-xxxx registration. They are accepted by Affinity on the UK civil register, and are then transferred onto the UK Military Register. The first two, G-MFTS and G-MEFT have now become ZM300 and ZM301 respectively. With an active military clearance, subsequent aircraft 'may' forgo the UK civil registration step, but it probably depends on how many variations of the civil registration can be made using MFTS, MEFT etc, since 23 would be needed
