I should think that taking a scanner to Turkey is about as wise as putting

It does amaze me how much trouble plane spotters (not suggesting the
OP is a plane spotter of course go to.

My plane is cross-referenced on various spotter websites, by its
airframe serial number, and against that is every tail number it has
ever existed under. They have even got the tail number which was
attached to it for only a few days during manufacture, and they have
the number on which it was ferried to the UK. I can guess where some
of the unusual data came from; somebody inside the CAA very likely,
with access to import paperwork, or perhaps a hack into a CAA database
(I don't mean G-INFO). However, the good quality data ends abruptly
sometime in 2004; perhaps somebody left their job, or a password got
changed?

The only thing they haven't got is the crankshaft serial number - not
easy to get I suppose

It's not a Jet then?
