Hi
Could anyone tell me what callsign Dan Air used when they were still around?
Thanks

....and why did the Dan-Air 1-11's RT transmissions always end with that noisy "beep"?

Not just Dan's 111's radios made that noisy beep. It was characteristic of a lot of 111s. I can remember the same from BCAL and BA 111s. When you heard it you knew immediately it was a 111.
Didn't some Dan crews sign off with "Chuggalug". It wasn't used as callsign.

Dan Air and "Chuggalug". The story I heard, from the mouths of the horses in question. Dan Air’s unofficial PR Department made sure that ATC Maastricht was never short of a certain beer.
In return, a Dan Air transmission ending in Chuggalug" was a coded request for a direct routing. Worked every time I‘m told.

Going into a Scottish field, as the myth goes:
F//kin' Danair

Long live Dans, before my time in the game, but flew them more than once, on 727's. and worked their drivers in the winter months when released.............
Who I met, a damn goood bunch.
