Firstly a correction to my post, the registration should have read
G-CJQZ.


You were right the first time - it is in fact G-CJOZ.

I understand from a search that it is a Schleicher K8B but I don't know
the
age.


It was built in 1971 and is one of 58 K 8Bs (and one K 8C) on the
UK register.


I do seem to have trouble with the register system, I thought I had worked
out with the three letter BGA system and then these G-*** registrations
appeared. Marking the craft JQZ on the tail and then G-CJOZ on the body
didn't seem right so when I found JQZ in the BGA system I thought that I was
misreading the letters on the body.

Thank you for the correction and the information regarding numbers
registered.
