Quick question - King Airs
 

.... just noticed these have now adopted military serial numbers - have we bought them, or has something else changed ?

Some have always had military serials and others carry their G- registration. That is still the case, G-RAFU was in the static at RIAT this weekend.

Thought this was something to do with COMR aircraft flying overseas, could be wrong though!

The Squirrels and Griffins at DHFS are civvy owned, military registered to allow low flying etc.

They are Mil reg for overseas flying, something about military personnel flying civilian aircraft and spying etc; but they're still not ours. Not sure what that has to do with low flying as I've taken several of the civvy registered ones into the LFS.
