Brymon...no...British!
Just wondering how many other ATCOs in the UK have spent the past few days starting transmissions with that? I was particularly guilty towards the end of my duty today, fortunately some of the crew were at it before I was.

Same thing happened when CityFlyer started using BAW callsigns last year:
"Flyer eight si..... errr no, sorry, I mean SPEEDBIRD eight six..."
The Crews were often just as gulity as me, as often I would use SpeedBird and they would reply with Flyer!
All sorted now though..

BEE
Why can't BEE revert to JEA telephony as the company still uses 'Jersey'; or at least a telephony that has some link to BEE? As above- still very confusing when both BEE and BRT are on freq. Maybe Raw Data can shed some light?:

When Jersey changed to BEE their r/t callsign officially changed to "Skywalker" (at least that's what's in the ICAO book now); as far as I'm aware the crews refused to use it!
Bit of a shame really, as one of their Dash 8-400s that comes into our place has the registration G-JEDI !!
