Funny aircraft registrations

[Nerik]

Anyone ever takes notice of aircraft registrations and that they sometimes inadvertently spell out a word or have a meaning?

Last week I saw a plane with OK-EGO as it's registration lol.
I also once saw an LH aircraft with D-AHLU as it's registration. In my language that means "stick/place it in!"
:ok:

[Captain Airclues]

Piper Seneca EI-EIO

Airclues

[Onan the Clumsy]

Better still, try doing it with an N number...

I saw a Mooney registered as N10WN

(Written as I OWN)

[Max Angle]

Somebody managed to register G-ONAD. Don't what type or if it's still about.

[expedite_climb]

G-ONAD - CESSNA 421C

Was sold to portugal in 1988

http://www.caa.co.uk/srg/aircraft_register/ginfo/search.asp

[irishcc]

New Air Atlanta Icelandic 747-300 will carry the reg :

TF-ARS

[Fadec Off]

BA had/has G-BUSH

[Air Born]

G-GRRR is a Bulldog....

[Arkady]

Seen recently

A6AIN


Seen years ago in Oz


N133LE

[AIRWAY]

The Aeroclub where i fly a C152, G-BNUT

[square leg]

There is a DG-500M in SA which used to have the registration of: D-KLAP

[DBate]

Sorry to correct you, but there is no aircraft with D-AHLU at LH. There is one registered D-AILU (A319). ;)

So long, DBate

[Taildragger]

In PNG, we had "Obscene Airways" collectively known as
P2-COC, P2-BOX and P2_TIT. Italy has an I-Fu*k (Honest)
and the UK has a few that slipped thro the net ... G-ONAD, as has been spotted, was one. G-BOLX (C172) was another.
No doubt, the spottas amongst you, will have a few more.
Oh, yes G-ROWL a pup from memory.....could be wrong.

[Canadiankid]

Saw a Global Express in Male ...........I-LOVE
30 million dollar way to say I love someone.

Now you want funny names for places try intersections. Have crossed the ****E intersection and started the approach at BALLS. No Joke.

[Golf Charlie Charlie]

I am sure there was a G-OLLY at one time - can't recall the type.

[pigboat]

Kenting Aviation has a photosurvey aircraft - can't remember the type - registered CF-ICU. There used to be a Beaver around here registered CF-ART. :D

[redsnail]

There is a G-BRUM at Coventry.

[CFI's permission req]

G-BALZ
bell helicopter, used to work N-Sea now working in Iraq for UN

[Child_of_the_zlin]

C-GKKK, The pilot would call "klan, turning base". I think tower gave him crap for it though.

[152captain]

From CYHU

C-FSEX (http://www.airliners.net/open.file/417558/M/)


152

[jrsanch]

N1KE
Guess who it belongs to...

[Stand 22]

AN2 Colt - D-FUKM
Corsair 747-300 F-GSEX
And there was an Estonian AN72 which was/is flying for Channel Express with ES-NOB.........:rolleyes:

Regards,

[simfly]

Seen an old chopper in the new Bristow book (no i didn't buy it!) which has the registration G-ANAL! :ok:

[chiglet]

GOLLY, Pa31 used to belong to Robertsons Jams.
A few more off the top of my head....
DANDY and DAISY BAC111s belonged to Bavaria Fulugelselschaft [pardon spelling]
GLOBL GLEAR GREAT GROWL GROWN GBOAC
Too many to mention
we aim to please, it keeps the cleaners happy

[Capt Pit Bull]

G-FISH and G-CHIP, owned at one point by somebody food related... (Ramsdens maybe? I can't recall - you'd see them around North England).

As well as G-BOLX mentioned above, there is also G-BLLX.

Saw a Ryanair 737 called EI-CNT. Some might say apt for MOL.

CPB

[BALIX]

I remember a PH-ART some years ago. I think it was a motorglider. I-PIST also rings a bell.

As for intersections, look at my username for a good 'un.

[Wycombe]

Taildragger,

G-ROWL is actually a Grumman Tiger (what else!), used to be with Cabair at Blackbushe a few years ago when I was flying there.

They had G-PAWS aswell, another AA5.

[Bodie]

I flew a tomahawk from Cumbernauld some time back, reg was either G-OOAL or G-OAAL, either way it just needed an exclamation mark on the end and would be ideal for a football lover.

Just looked on G-INFO, can confirm it was G-OAAL

[JW411]

Seneca EI-EIO is now G-IEIO I believe.

[Hideout]

In DK there is a glider with registration:
OY-SEX

At an Int'l competiotion 'somebody' added ENJ in front of the registration ;-)

[Kestrel_909]

Anyone have G-SPOT?

I need help finding it if it even exsists:)

[Captain Stable]

I've flown G-BOLX. Had a poke around inside G-PUSI as well... :ooh:

[Jerricho]

With no disrespect intended.....

I seem to remember a lighty that used to get around S.E. Queensland VH-UFO.

I believe it crashed, but there was no government cover up (that we know of!)

[Bumz_Rush]

was a partinavia, with vision equipment....

[crab]

Midland used to have a Viscount reg. GAYOX,affectionately known as the queer cow.
KLM used to have a 747 PH-BUM and I seem to recall seeing an Irish light aircraft reg.EI-ARS.

[BigGreenPleasureMachine]

There used to be a C172 that carried G-SEXI. Unfortunately someone pranged it into a tree.

Speaking of Trees, there's a bell 206 registered G-TREE at Fairoaks. Hope that's not an omen.

For the scots out there one of the BA concordes is G-BOAB. The utlimate expression of manhood?

[Hotel Mode]

Meridiana MD80 - I-SMEL

[forget]

In the 80’s the Selangor Flying Club, Kuala Lumpur, bought a Piper (?) through the Singapore company I was then with. It was with the club for some nine months before someone realised the reason for its very low usage.

The registration was 9M-ATI.

Mati is Malay for ………death.

[witchdoctor]

Babcock HCS have a Shorts Skyvan, G-PIGY. Rather appropriate for such a beautiful a/c.:D

[Buffet Boundary]

In addition to F-GSEX Corsair also have

F-GSUN
F-GSEA

and would you believe F-HJAC

[stringfellow hawke]

Special shape commercially sponsored hot air balloons have to take the prize for originality. For example:

Bertie Bassett - G-BXAL (Bassett's Licorice Allsorts)
Alka Seltzer - G-CURE
Financial Times - G-ETFT
Ordnance Survey - G-MAPS
Guiness can - G-PURE
Sonic the Hedgehog - G-SEGA
National Power cooling tower - G-WATT
Ice cream cone - G-ICES
Uncle Sam - G-USAM
BBC1 World - G-IBBC
Peanut - G-PNUT
Golf ball - G-PUTT
Light bulb - G-LAMP
Toliet rolls - G-LOOS
J&B Whiskey bottle - G-JANB
Flying Saucer - G-GUFO
Santa Claus - G-HOHO
Humpty Dumpty - G-EGGG

There was a special shape condom around at one point - I'd like to think it had an appropriate reg... G-ROPE or G-HARD perhaps.

[galley-wench22]

Channel Express have an A300 freighter with the reg G-CEXI.

OOh... he is a sexy machine!:O

[Bre901]

The Air Inter flying club has (used to have) an ASH-25 registered as F-CHIT

A Breguet 901 is registered as F-CCCP, still airworthy after almost 50 years (pic (http://beslier.free.fr/planeurs/vintage/v70.jpg)).
Rumor has it that it outlanded once in Switzerland and was mistaken for a soviet glider for a few minutes.

Some other ones (taken from http://www.teaser.fr/u/pbrugier/f_f.htm)
F-CAKE CASTEL 301S
F-CEXY GROB 102 ASTIR CS 77
F-BUTT PIPER PA.34 200 SENECA

[Wizofoz]

Aussie aerobatic champion Chris Sperou's first Pitts was VH-TIT, later replaced by VH-CEX!

[RUDAS]

heard I-ANTZ over switzerland.
Also a lh whisperjet D-AIRO and my personal favorite, the LH A321 D-AILY!

[Captain Stable]

I've also seen I * MAMY (Imagine a red heart instead of the asterisk)

[Nerik]

DBate,

That LH aircraft (D-AHLU) is now leased out to an Italian carrier (forgot the name but it could be Volare).

[ALEXA]

Cabair also own a Grumman Tiger G-BOZO.

Accurate description of how I flew it the other week.

[RRAAMJET]

I remember seeing a photo a few years back in "Pilot" of
G-WILI and G-PUSI parked next to each other at a horse race meet....somebody post it if you've got it.

GOJET Manx's little 146 darling...

G-DOFY the Duchess of York's Jet Ranger she used to have.

[Wycombe]

.....For the lady who has everything, G-HERS, a Citation X

[BAe 146-100]

Hi,

I-SMEL (Meridiana MD-82).

BAe 146-100 ;)

[overcast]

How about G-OFCM C172 based in Guernsey, Supposedly stands for GO Flight Clearance and Met, However ....

[DBate]

Nerik,

in that case the aircraft must have been one from LH partner airlines, since all aircraft flown by LH itself have either D-ABxx (Boeing) or D-AIxx (Airbus).

So long, DBate

[Miserlou]

WILI and PUSI used to come together quite often, I believe.

There is a C172 (available for hire at Roskilde, Denmark) registered OY-BUM!

That one was just calling out to me!

[chiglet]

There was the "Royal" reg of Prince William of Glouster..
G-AW@G
we aim to please, it keeps the cleaners happy

[Dockjock]

C-IMFC, a Zenair is owned by retired actor John Morgan (ex-Royal Canadian Air Farce tv show).

He had a half-wit character on the show named Mike from Canmore, AB. He always opened the skit with, "Hi I'm Mike...From Canmore".

[the boy John]

Seems you sometimes need the same sort of wild imagination to make something out of nothing here just like those sillies with their "personalised" car plates.

G-DOFY was not the D of Y's, she merely learned to fly in the scrofulous old heap which some sycophant had re-registered for the occasion.

Why have none of the Police units got G-LOLO? Hmm, something to do with coppers' sensavumour perhaps!

The CAA some years back refused, if memory serves, G-ZIZI, which apparently is french slang for the female pudenda. How the hell did they know that???

[chiglet]

Same reason they "jumped" on PEN 1 [rounded] 5
we aim to please, it keeps the cleaners happy

[Flap Sup]

Miserlou,

I flew the OY-BUM quite often, the registration fits the aircraft quite well.

Many moons ago, there was a C337 in Denmark with the unexciting registration OY-AGU. However tha danish CAA didn't like it when the owner added RK to the reg; in danish AGURK means cucumber. see http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=311132&WxsIERv=Q2Vzc25hIDMzN0QgU3VwZXIgU2t5bWFzdGVy&WdsYXMg=VW50aXRsZWQ%3D&QtODMg=QWFsYm9yZyAoQUFMIC8gRUtZVCk%3D&ERDLTkt=RGVubWFyaw%3D%3D&ktODMp=MTk3Nw%3D%3D&BP=1&WNEb25u=RXJpayBGcmlra2U%3D&xsIERvdWdsY=T1ktQUdVUks%3D&MgTUQtODMgKE=Qy9uIDEwNDkuIFRoaXMgcmVnaXN0cmF0aW9uIGhhcyBnb25 lIGNvbXBsZXRlbHkgYmFuYW5hcyEgQmFjayBpbiAxOTc3IGEgdmVyeSBwb3B 1bGFyIHBocmFzZSBpbiBEZW5tYXJrIHdhczogInRvIGdvIGJhbmFuYXMiLiB BcyB3ZSBkbyBub3QgZ3JvdyBiYW5hbmFzIGluIERlbm1hcmsgd2UgaGF2ZSB 0byBzYXkgY3VjdW1iZXJzIChhZ3VyaykgaW5zdGVhZCEgVGhhdCBpcyB3aHk gdGhlIG5pY2UgZ3V5IGFuZCBhaXJib3JuZSBwaG90b2dyYXBoZXIgVGhvcmt pbGQgQmFsc2xldiBoYWQgYWRkZWQgdGhlICJSSyIgdG8gdGhlIHJlZ2lzdHJ haW9uLiBUaGUgZGFuaXNoIENBQSBkaWQgbm90IGxpa2UgdGhhdCwgc28gaXQ gd2FzIHJlbW92ZWQgYSBmZXcgZGF5cyBsYXRlci4gU2FkbHksIE1yIEJhbHN sZXYgd2FzIGxhdGVyIGtpbGxlZCBpbiB0aGlzIGFpcmNyYWZ0IGR1cmluZyB 0YWtlIG9mZiBvbiBhIHdpbmR5IHJ1bndheSBpbiBUaGlzdGVkIChFS1RTL1R FRCkgb24gMTEgSmFudWFyeSAxOTgyLg%3D%3D&YXMgTUQtODMgKERD=MTEyNA%3D%3D&NEb25uZWxs=MjAwMy0wMS0xNw%3D%3D&static=yes&size=L

[Nipper]

An aircraft was registered in Western Australia to a man with a bad stutter "VH - PPP"

Heard to say on frequency one day

"Kalgoorlie Flight Service this is PPPPP, F@7k it you know who I am and I'm coming in"

[RUDAS]

here are some other funny registrations...

lh a321 D-AIRY

AZ 767 I-DEID

Egyptair a300 SU-GAR

F-LYON aero lyon dc-10

OK-FIT 737.

I think Easyjet should open up shop in Turkmenistan .Hell, they'd probably not get much business but imagine the registrations...EZ-JET and EZ-JOB!

[Speedmaster]

There was a Chieften into EGPH last night with the reg G-LIDE

Sure I saw a BA Airbus with G-BUSH

[RUDAS]

i bet tony blair likes being in that one!

[andymac]

a recent allocation is a Gazelle G-FUKM.
Others I know of -
GGYTO PA28 (get yer t!7s out)
GPUSI was only requested because GC*NT was refused
I-MEZE a Vari-Ez
:D

[flyer75]

The day I get my own jet in sweden ill Register it: SE-XY69:8

[VORTILON]

SE-XY69..........in contrast to your British reg a/c G-C*NT!!

[Air Born]

OK here are a few more:

Cabair has a twin used for IR tests - G-TEST

G-TIGR is a Puma heli.

G-ZOOM is a learjet

G- WENT is a jetstream...possibly with a sister craft G-GONE...?

G-UNDY - only if you want to show them

G-SSHH and G-SSSH are BAe 146's - perhaps those type-rated might like to comment on that one.

G-LION is a piper cub and my favourite is the cargo 747 G-KILO.

Finally, G-HIHO perhaps run by 7 short guys....

OK, I'll put my little notebook back in my anorak pocket now.....!!!

[boredcounter]

Mr Brendish?

Who flew the English Channel inverted in the Chippy G-IDDY?

Is it a 150/152 or 172 regn G-OTEK (or may be G-OTEC)

If Trigger would come out of the closet and post his pic of I-MUFF and I-DIVE along side each other, priceless.

For starters... :)

[PAXboy]

G-SSHH and G-SSSH are BAe 146's - perhaps those type-rated might like to comment on that one. Not type rated, due to not being a pilot They are Sshh, except when the flaps are in transit. :}

[javelin]

G-IDDY now resides at Vacaville in Northern California and is owned by Sean de Rosier who is converting it to a 2 seat super chipmunk in tribute to Art Scholl.

Sad thing is that you can't polish a turd !

On a more basic line, one of Premiair's DC10's was registered OY-CNT. Sadly it died at Bournemouth in 2001.

[Hay Ewe]

Channel Express used to have a Lockheed Electra Freighter
G-OFRT

(G - O FReighT)

Died a while back I beleive

[Civil Servant]

Saw a photo of a Lear Jet many years ago registered D-ILDO.

[RomeoTangoFoxtrotMike]

G-RAIL, another HAB, used to be operated on behalf of Railfrieght. It isn't yet porous enough to qualify as "holy" (think about it :) )

[GrahamK]

So, no flying G-SPOT then? :suspect:

[nick murry]

used to fly some old busted arse 172,

vh- SFA

SFA = about how much flying it did :)

[Zaptain]

G-TEST is now at Stapleford but has the same use as when at Cabair (MEIR tests).

BA have a DC-10 ...G-DCIO

Red Devils Freefall Parachute display team use a couple of Islanders, one registered G-ORED (go red) and the other G-LEAP.

:D

[Mark 1]

There was a twin at Dublin - Weston I think - registered EI-EIO

Isn't that how the Irish spell farm?

[VORTILON]

Beagle Bassett B206 Series 1 .......G-HRHI...... Charlie, Prince of Wales did his Multi rating in it. Then mister 'Bassett' owned it!

[witchdoctor]

Do a search for Compton Abbass fly in. Good pic of a couple of ppruners' a/c parked next to each other;

G-Sexx and G-btch I think. Sex with the bitch.
:D

[Civil Servant]

Classic had a TriStar G-IOII

[Synthetic]

Seem to remember many moons ago, G-HUGE, a 747:p

[niknak]

Got a photo somewhere of GFISH (C310) and GCHIP (AA5) parked together (also got it published in Flight Magazine by Uncle Roger:p ).

DBOOM and DBANG were FK27s operated by the same German charter outfit.

IFU*K is genuine, a Ralleye of some kind I believe.

GWNKR - A C172, was at one stage owned by a member of the Flying Lawyers fraternity, the owner (allegedly) asked for the registration out of bravado, and the CAA missed the significance.

CRAPP - alleged to be a Lear45, although I've never seen it or any evidence to prove it.

EIEIO - I'm convinced this is/was a BE200, but it doesn't matter, it's a genuine reg' and that's what counts.:ok:

[broadreach]

Contributions of US$100 and over accepted from anyone interested in getting a PP-RUN or PP-RNE machine registered, just for kicks. Ok, I'll put a hundred of my own in.

[Soulman]

Down here in Australia, we have:

VH-ASS - an Conaero LA-4. :yuk:

VH-BUM - a CAC CA-25. :eek:

VH-DIK - a Bell 206B (owned by Dick Smith).

VH-POO - a Cessna 210. :p

VH-CNT - a Piper PA-38. :}

VH-SEX - a Piper PA-30. ;)

There's probably more funny ones out there, but searching through the whole registrar would take a little too long for me! Have a go yourself here (http://www.rwy34.com/regsearch/).

Cheers,

Soulman.

[THINALBERT]

Heard a callsign at EMA many years ago from a guy practising for his I/R G-OIMC

[EMACargo]

i have seen G-COLA

[superspotter]

As well as the Alitalia 767 I-DEID there is an Italian Falcon 900 I-DIES :( :sad:

[Shuperstar Loadie]

Yep at Channex we had an AN72 ES-NOB,
An F27 G-BNIZ (The Business)
An Electra G-OFRT (Go Frieght)
Another Electra G-FIZU (Fizu n all!)
And the A300 G-CEXI and she is!!!

[jmc757]

MyTravel have re-registered an A330 G-OMYT.

[My names Turkish]

I was going to put EI-EIO too, about 5 of you beat me to it, I think its quite a famous little plane. It is definitely a Piper, here is a link to prove it.

http://www.transport.ie/viewitem.asp?id=3472&lang=ENG&loc=1280

[Techman]

SAS had a pair of DC9's reg'd as OY-KGB and OY-CIA.

And yes, OY-KGB did occasionally do the Moscow route.

[flyer75]

[finalschecks]

I once flew an american registered Cessna 150 in holland called :

The N1GGER !!!

[gingernut]

I was a bit nervous flying G-BOIL for the first time (C172N at Barton). Would have been happier in a G-SPOT..... spot, boil, whats the difference?

[Courtman]

Britannia had a short-term lease on a B767-300 which was registered G-BXOP in the UK. Nothing unusual about that, but it was transferred to the Swedish register. In order to save on paint the plan was to remove G-B and replace with SE-. The paperwork almost went through as well before someone noticed it would have been SEXOP!!! It ended up as SE-DZF. Boring!

[Anti-ice]

Yeh G-BUSH (A320) is still doing the rounds at BA.

Ironically , the last time i saw it we were on stand and i was discussing the sensitive art of male grooming (down below:eek: ) with one of the hosties when it pulled in alongside us :)
She nearly died laughing, of all the fleet , it had to be that one:D

[atb1943]

There's a DC-9 in Italy registered I-SMEL, an Airbus in Egypt SU-GAR, a Nigerian 1-11 5N-UDE.
Didn't BA once have a Britannia G-ANBG that got re-registered prior to being used as a stately hack?

Richard Noble wanted to register his Farnborough F.1 mock-up G-FARN for display at said show, but someone beat him to it having got their cheque in to the CAA a few days before him. Then a friend mentioned to him that he had been saved some embarrassment because FARN is a naughty word in some Scandinavian tongue. So he used G-FBRO instead.

Some wealthy merchant wanted his wife's name (Gail) in his reg, and eventually used various aberrations (I guess GAIL, GAYL, GAEL, etc) until he got to G-GEIL, which, the pilot recounted, means horny, randy, in German.

There's a diminutive aircraft in Switzerland that runs around as HB-SEX. The Italians obviously had no compunction about what got on the register, I-F#CK was an EC39/D Uribel D, I-FEEL, I-GROW, etc.

There's a very smart Cessna 340 based at Mainz-Finthen called D-IRTY...........!

g'night

[boris]

In days of yore, Shorts cut a 330 about a bit in order to fit fuselage plugs and a new tail; thus was the roomier 360 born and this prototype was registered G-ROOM.
This was around the time when a certain member of the House of Windsor was getting wed and a man I knew in Shorts (the company, not the menswear), told me that they (the company), were delighted to receive some very nice remarks from a certain HRH, thanking them for their thoughts at this special time.
He swore it was true!

[andymac]

pics of 5 of my favourites can be seen at...

:ok:

[Superpilut]

Can't find the picture now, but there's also an Aeroflot Airbus (300?) registered F-OGYU:oh:

[proxus]

Here in Iceland we have 3 letters after TF-
So there are lots of options to play with. Here are few:

TF-SEX (http://www.cl44.com/caa/detail2.asp?ID=346)
TF-Toy (http://www.cl44.com/caa/detail2.asp?ID=833)
TF-FBI (http://www.cl44.com/caa/detail2.asp?ID=606)
TF-HOT ( well it doesn't have a motor but still..) (http://www.cl44.com/caa/detail2.asp?ID=268)
(former) TF-SPY (http://www.cl44.com/caa/detail2.asp?ID=377)
TF-EGG (http://www.cl44.com/caa/detail2.asp?ID=189)
TF-MAX

Well, there are more of them, but I am not the most creative mind when it come's to find funny three letter words. ( I wasn't even good at Scrapple)

[pigboat]

I've flown a DC-3 with the registration CF-ORD. We bought it from a major car manufacturer. :cool:

[yachtpilot]

Some years ago I had the dubious pleasure of hacking around in a Bandit labled G-DORK....
one night on approach into Bournemouth the controller queried it from his paperwork and after we'd confirmed the reg he and his pals became helpless with laughter...by way of apology we were invited up to the tower for a couple of hours of coffee and sandwiches...they'd taken pity on us....

[HandspringGuy]

I may be wrong but I think G-ROWL is an AA5 at Cabair

[allthatglitters]

I remember BA having a B747-236F reg as G-KILO, which passed on to Cathay Pacific where it became VR-HVY and after the hand over in 1997 became B-HVY.

[Anchorman]

At Leeds Bradford Airport, Southside apron at the old Yorkshire Flying Club there was (or maybe still is) a light twin G-REAT:ok:

My father used to fly a falcon in the sixties F-BOLX

;) One of my all time favourite funny registrations I came across was a Swedish P68 at LGW SE-FUK...No kidding, one can't imagine any conversations between pilot & ATC:ooh:

I flew in two good reg's G-GIII Gulfsream 3 & G-CCAA BAe125....

[Taildragger]

Many years ago (When I were nobbut a lad, and Pontius were a Pilot), we had in BEA (The original) a Viscount 800 Series G-APIM.
It was known universally, by all and sundry as Itchy Minge.

Yes - in fact, a BOAC Britannia 102. It was re-registered G-APLL.

[Travelling Toolbox]

Can't remember where I saw it (might have even been on PPrune):O but I recall a BAC-111 which had served for many years as one of two of the type performing VIP tansport duties in the Royal Australian Air Force. It toted our successive prime ministers hither, thither and yon all its service life.

It was sold to an Australian in England and civil registered G-EXPM :cool:

[cargoflyer]

How about G-OUZO - seem to recall this was a A320 doing Gatwick-Athens and nothing else...

....however the most (un)fortunate was an RT call sign I was previously forced to use for a light Jet AOC operator ( ...how it was approved by ICAO.. ) was SEX, and that was the 3 letter too....sigh...I'll leave all the ribald comments to your fertile imaginations.....

[BALIX]

Ah, I remember controlling the Sexy one - indeed it may have been you I spoke to one quiet night shift. I asked you or one of your colleagues just how the SEX designator and callsign got past the sensors. The answer was one of equal bemusment - God knows :O

The callsign and designator disappeared almost as quickly as it arrived - any idea what happened to it?

[DOK001]

Can anyone confirm the existance of KLM Fokker 70,

PH-*** ?

Sounds to good to be true!!!!!!!

Problems with censoring.


The registration of that previous thread should read Uniform Charlie Kilo.

Very suitable for an F70.

[swaman22]

It was easy to recognize an aircraft from my state's aviation department: N210EC and N10EC. (Ten- e-see). Don't know of another state or country that can work that into the registration.

[planecrazi]

There is a waypoint south of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia named ASOLE. The funny thing was listening to the military forces years ago, 1992, going into Mogadishu from Egypt giving estimates "estimating your Asole at ..." The way point still exists and is pronounced by ATC as "a-soley":O

Surprised these haven't been mentioned but I remember a brightly painted and colourful Piper single visiting the IOM registered:

G-YSEX or G-AYSX I can't quite remember which. I have a photo somewhere.

I don't know if it ever visited Dublin because there was a Cessna twin registered EI-BUM I imagine the Cessna pilot would have been a bit uncomfortable if the Piper was told to line up behind. :eek: :uhoh:

There is also a BE76 Duchess EI-BUN which is tasty. I've flown it.

A Tampico registered EI-FLY which didn't one day and crashed.

There's a Piper PA 22 EI-UFO But I for one have never seen it although I know of someone who says he has. :hmm:

I remember EI-EIO it is definitely on the British register now.

Finally the Italians had I-BITE which was a demonstrator for Aermacchi MB336 I think. A light attack jet.

I liked the home-grown helicopter at Cranfield a couple of years ago with the colourscheme that changed depending on where you viewed it - G-ESUS.

There was also the Berkut with reg G-REDX, and on its first appearance, the X was really red. But the humourless CAA put paid to that, and he was told to apply it in black. Nice guy, believe he was an engineer with Lotus (Glenn X?)

BA (and I believe BCAL before them) had a DC-10, G-DCIO, and there was a Tristar at STN G-IOII.

D-IANA was a Cessna 310, and/or Beech 200, D-ICKY a Duke, I-TALY an MB308, OO-OOO a Falcon 20. SE-XEE was a Stolp Starduster, and SE-XIZ an Extra 300.

Phonetically, of course it was India Mike, but I never heard it referred to as anything other than Itchy Minge.
Funnily enough, over the weekend, I was also told of a Polish Aircraft which was to fly in the UK for a relatively short while. The owners felt compelled, for some reason, to re-register it. Don't ask me what aircraft it was, but it was initially registered SP-ERM

Yes, Brakes Hot, G-MONG was a 737-3YO.
G-MONR and G-MONS are A300s. Nothing amusing about that except that they had a less than spectacular introduction to service and were quickly dubbed 'Non Runner' and 'Non Starter'!
G-MONY is an A320.

I had a brief whizz around, long ago, in an Aerostar 601P G-TIME.

I remember seeing a photograph in 'Flight International' (Roger Bacon page) of an SF260 I-SINK. The caption was something like "I think it's trying to tell us something, Hoskins."

I am reminded that Air UK's first F100 into service was G-UKFC - I think thats anagrammatically correct.

Used to see lots of "personalised" registrations on the radar at LATCC.

When BA introduced the shuttle we used to display them as BASH+flt letters which cause much mirth with Echo Mike and Echo Romeo.

I always looked out for them when showing visitors around. One I always pointed out was MARTINI until one day I found myself working MARTIN2 and realised they were Martin Baker callsigns rather the steed of an Italian Drinks company :O

[global707]

Believe there was a 707 registered ST-ALL a few years back!

[SFG]

As a couple of others have mentioned:
G-DCIO BCal Dc10 inherited by BA after the BCal merger. G-HUGE BCal B747-200 Combi disposed of by BA fairly soon after the merger.

BCal also had a B707-320C in pure freight config registered G- BCAL. I often wonder what BA would have done had that registration been used on a DC10 considering that they kept the DC10 fleet until the late '90s but extinguished all references to BCal as soon as they could.

There were also a couple of ex-Laker Airways DC10-10s that were leased by BCal for the new subsidiary BCal Charter after the demise of Sir Freddies 'Skytrain operation - original registrations were: G-GFAL & G-GSKY (F A Laker & SKYtrain respectively)

[atb1943]

Must be some more....

Distillers had a whirly at Denham G-WWWW, and of course there was the C170 way back also at Denham G-ABLE, a very out of sequence reg, that apparently belonged to an ardent fan of his.

I was thinking of the many reggies that have been the initials of the owners, far too many over the years to list, but an early industry one was the poor old Accountant G-ATEL (Aviation Traders Engineering Ltd) at Farnborough in '57. I think the next fudged reg to turn up at Farnborough was in 1972 with G-BSST, the Concorde, followed by G-VTOL 2 years later, on the Harrier 52, now I believe at Brooklands.

G-SPOT has been de-registered after the aircraft (PARTENAVIA P68B OBSERVER) was written off in a crash.

The cheesiest reg I have seen was on a Socata TB20 That flew two Britannia engineers in to Cardiff after G-BYIG went tits up. The TB20 was painted in that awfull powder blue and in line with TUI's colours sported the reg G-OTUI.

If I've already posted this on here my apologies. I have looked but didn't see it and I know I posted it somewhere :(
Seen At Sherburn, G-OLOW a helicopter looking rather like the one Whirlybird flies.

The one time airport manager at Baginton used to own a Taylor Monoplane registered G-BDNG which everyone used to interpret as 'Berdong...' !

[Buster the Bear]

G-BEAR was a 'Toy balloon'. Full of hot air, just like me, an old gas bag!

Many moons ago, BOAC's new Britannia G-ANBG was re-registered as G-APLL because someone belatedly realised that "NBG" stood for "No Bloody Good" in the vernacular of the time.

[Marcel_MPH]

Maybe already mentioned but, anyone remember the Corsair 747 registered F-GSEX

G-WIZZ is now a Baron based in EGHH. The G-INFO database seems to be out of date on it, though.
