In which case, the aircraft has been de-registered or transferred to another country... or both?

If it is an Agusta with the Royal Flight, which I believe is now part of 32 Squadron, might it not carry a military serial?

Thats what i thought, but this one was the usual red colour with royal crests i've checked all serials G-XX?A and there are no Augustas listed, it might be brand new or a re-registration and not on the CAA database yet, but i doubt it.
