It was displaying at Biggin approx 5pm. Can't remember if it landed back (yikes it was only 24hrs ago!). Home to Bournemouth and tea?

Was it painted in Red Bull Colours?
If so (and by the look of all the webpages - it is the only one flying), then it is owned by De Havilland and is based at Hurn (Bournemouth)....

See it on 8 Jul at the Yeovilton Airday - it's a beautiful aircraft - shame about having to resort to sponsorship to get it flying, but better flying than not!!

Spotted it yesterday too. Flying East of Portsmouth toward the North East. Looked pretty good. Looking forward to the red bull racing this year.
