There was a major (nearly 3 sides of densely covered pages) report in the paper NWAN covering the PFA International Rally at Cranfield 30/6 to 2/7 1989. If you would like scans of the pages, I can do these easily an attach to an e-mail - but first could you PM me your e-mail address. No way I'm going to try and find the info you are looking for, there were a huge number of aircraft there ....... indeed you may give up too when you see the typed report!

peterandsusan.co.uk/laarally/registrationindex.asp?letter=Bn This site vis excellent ,lists all PFA visitors over the years in Reg order along with years present ,may help but you will need to guess what the registrations may have been.
Guess work would be G-BDNP is Shadow G-BONP, G-BQXK is T67 G-BOXK. No trace of G-BYTH, nearest I can See on quick look is G-MYTH. G-BESO is an Islander and no trace ,but 1989 rally was at Cranfield, so this may have been there but not in Rally visitors

From my log on 2 July 89 (and confirming marka's post above)

G-BQXK = G-BOXK Slingsby T67

G-BYTH = G-MYTH ?? CFM Shadow

G-BESO = BN2 Islander c/n 2004

G-BDNP = G-BONP CFM Streak Shadow

G-BESO was used by the collage of aeronautics at Cranfield. I asked on the Facebook page for Cranfield and someone kindly put a picture up from 1987 calendar for the collage of SO and has collage titles so it’s a good possibility that it was there at that time
