LAHavre,Does the #61 on the the fuse denote that aircrafts serial number?
If so, he're some photos of N28JV, ser.#61, Gillespie Field, San Diego, Cal
taken in 2004...

Can you fill us in on the data and history of Grey's former Fouga?

That's the one, I well remember putting it into the box at Duxford.
Was it really as long ago as 1985?
Good to see that it's still alive and well in the US.
Built in 1960, French AF '61', to G-BKSY on 7 June 1983, cancelled from UKCAR as sold in the US on 11 Jan 1985.

airnutz and Mike thanks for the links and info, even after looking in a Google search I can find no further information regarding the history of this aircraft past or present, although looking through my copy of 'British Civil Aircraft Registers 1919 - 1999' (Air Britain Publications) it is shown as having been on the French register as F-AZDG, but this reg. appears to belong to another aircraft?

No problemo LAHarve and thanks for the info Mike. There is a bit of a
glitch though, as N28JV #61 according to the US registration was built in
1957. A couple of references to the aircraft make a point of mentioning
the 1957 mfg. date, as this makes N28JV the the oldest Magister (of about
85) in the US.
#61 must spend a lot of time tied-down outside as the paint appears a bit
sunbeaten. I've seen a photo of her bare-metal in early 2001, and
another photo of 'er months later at Oshkosh in her current Patrouille
de France aerobatics team colors.
