I placed the following query on AB-IX a few days ago but it drew no response at all...
ABN Mar24, p381 mentions Flylight Skyranger G-A5-3.
This appears to be a more recent allocation than covered by the excellent A-B Under B-Conditions by Doug Revell and also not mentioned in the relevant part of A-B’s Messageboard.
Can any one provide me with a list of B-Condition allocations used by Flylight please?

David:
The reason for a lack of any response was probably due to our having explained the use of Flylight’s B Conditions marks G-A5 in ABN JULY 23/p1094. Perhaps you could be forgiven for not remembering to look under our Register Note for APOLLO DELTAJET 500/AEROS STINGRAY !
I repeat the important paragraph herewith: The build situation is a major assembly task by Exodus Airsports at Plaistows Farm, St Albans. The Trike is built in Hungary at Phoenix Aircraft Factory, Eiger by Apollo Aircraft and supplied to Exodus. The motorcycle BMW engine is modified for aviation use and supplied new by Take Off GmbH to Exodus for installation. Rotax engines are built by BRP-Rotax GmbH & Co KG at Gunskirchen, Austria. The sailwings are built by Aeros close to Kyiv in Ukraine (despite the Russian invasion). The Stingray XS12 is the full name used by Aeros and XS12 appears on the main struts of some aircraft. The complete assembly receives CAA approval under the aegis of Flylight Airsports Ltd using their CAA A8 approval and their B Conditions G-A5 series for some test flights (hence Flylight shown as the Manufacturer on G-INFO). Given their UK Agency arrangement with Aeros for their own aircraft (Skyranger, Nynja & nano-trikes), they conveniently import the Stingray wings for Exodus.
At that time two uses of the G-A5 marks had been reported - also repeated here: EA001 G-CMJA Rotax 912ULS Also flown with Flylight B Conditions marks G-A5-1 EA004 G-CUAV 030-21 Rotax 912ULS Also flown with Flylight B Conditions marks G-A5-1 with Cumbrian Aviation in 2022 with a predominantly blue sailwing before they sold it on with a Blue & Red version; in both cases the wing had a white trailing edge
As you will be aware, B Conditions may be re-used, provided that a strict record is maintained by the approved operator.
I will repeat this message on AB-IX since you first raised it there
