Only 146 Strikemasters were produced by BAC/British Aerospace at Warton between 1968 and 1984. A website for the remaining Strikemasters http://www.bacstrikemaster.co.uk/strikeys/ records that in July 2009, #1104 was in restoration at Hawarden by North Wales Military Aviation Services. 7 years later in 2016 it seems likely that this plane, which was seen taking off earlier, and now landing, is that plane #1104.
