From TAS Manchester:
EMB-135BJ Legacy G-SUGA arrived early morning as EDC702P and was ‘fired’ a couple of hours later as EDC702.
What does this mean exactly?
Thanks lots:ok:

I think it is a typo.
Should be "Filed" as in a flight plan.

I don't think it is a typo, particularly as they have used the quote marks. As Deep and Fast says it's a reference to the owner (albeit a bit oblique). Look here (http://www.caa.co.uk/application.aspx?catid=60&pagetype=65&appid=1&mode=detailnosummary&fullregmark=SUGA), then here (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0071b63) and you might be able to piece it together.
