THIS site seems to have all of the ICAO reg prefixes.
no 'A8' though, jumps from A7 to A9.
seems that A8 belongs to liberia, although as of the end of 2002 there were no AC carrying the mark.

Since radio callsigns and aircraft registrations use the same blocks of identifiers, try a radio call listing.
The Radio Society of Great Britain has such a
listing Type callsign in the search block (upper left).
A8 is Liberia, more commonly known under EL
SC

SC is correct, A8- is the 'new' prefix for Liberia. The old one (EL-) was rescinded by ICAO for flagrant registration abuses, so if you see an EL- reggie, it's illegal 
Remember all those clapped-out 707s/DC-8s supposedly registered in Liberia ? Turns out most weren't registered anywhere, of course Liberia is not the only country with umm... relaxed registration practices.
