​​​​​​​Yes. Flew it in Detmold back in the 80s when it was an AAC cab.

Unless you mean the Kia Picanto or Audi A4 with the same reg :ok:

... however I'd guess it is the tailboom of XZ646 attached to the body of XZ649 that is/was at the engineering faculty at UWE Bristol Demobbed - Out of Service British Military Aircraft (http://www.demobbed.org.uk/aircraft.php?type=696)

XZ646 last features in my logbook in March '93 as a 1 Regt Cab at Hildesheim - XZ649 - the other half of the cut n shut was in 5 Regt in Jan '98.

Looks like a few bullet holes near the footstep.
