Scotland's Air Sinclair used 'Clan King'.......Affectionately known in ATC as 'Clanking'.
At one time, they had a 748 that used 'Clan Speed'.
SSD mentioned 'Ghostrider' above. I seem to remember it was a Danish Jetstream, and it was actually 'Coastrider'.
Before we had the callsign word printed on the strips, one of our controllers kept calling a BOSAL a/c 'BOZO'. Pilot wasn't amused.
Polar Air Cargo used 'Polar Tiger', and I think Great Wall, (a Chinese freight outfit) used 'Taipan.
Emery Air Cargo was 'Rosenbaum'....Or often 'Rosie'.
Northern Executive Aviation, based at EGCC was 'NEATAX".
Excailbur used 'Camelot', Air 2000 'Jetset', Aer Lingus used 'Are Lingus' when I started in '79.
