LOL, Rex has got VH-BZG, aka "Brett's Jet": https://www.executivetraveller.com/n...-brett-godfrey

Also check this out:

Curiously, Rex's fleet delivery schedule indicated that BZG – which like most of the initial Boeing 737s is being leased from Castlelake – would have its registration changed to MFM.
Those are notably the initials of Michael Francis McCormack: Australia's Deputy Prime Minister, National Party leader, proud son of Wagga Wagga and federal member for the local electorate of Riverina.
However, a spokesman for Regional Express told Executive Traveller that the first six Boeing 737s would all follow the airline's convention of registrations beginning with the letter R.
Imagine the outrage if Rex basically 'named' a jet for McCormack!
