If it's any consolation to people, I gather that British European will probably be changing their callsign.

And Arkroyal? If someone doesn't have the faintest idea who he's supposed to be following to the hold, he can always ask - or didn't that occur to you?

Reminds me of the aircraft told by GND to follow the easyJet. Seeing only a whitetail 737, he said:-

"I thought they all have their phone number down the side?"
"Yes, normally - but this one's ex-directory. Contact TWR on...."

And Avman? Know what you mean about the accent. I was recently positioning aboard Ryanair, seated at the front of the cabin opposite the #1, and as she announced "on behalf of the crew, First Officer Mick O'Brien (or whatever the name was) and Captain Smzc... Czynz... Sczyn... welcome aboard..." and I chipped in "So he's not Irish, then?" and managed to crease her and her mate up totally!
