For G-GMGC read G-BMGC (I think!)

LS326 was G-AJVH for Faireys. Reverted to LS326 when handed over to RNHF.

Firefly was never civil registered. Acquired by the Officers of HMS Eagle (?) from an Australian scrappie after a whip round in the mess and brought home on the carrier!

The Fleet Air Arm's Fulmar was also on the civil register as G-AIBE for Comms duties with Fairey and as a Historic Aircraft.

You'll also find the BoBMF's Hurri PZ865 was G-AMAU when flown by Hawker after the war until hand over around 1972 and the Spitfire V was G-AISU with Alan Wheeler prior to transfer to BoBMF and the Mk II G-AWIJ for the BoB film.
