My last type was the Agusta Westland (now Leonardo) A109LUH - wife bought me '109LUH' for my last birthday.

Im greedy so I kept it hoping Phil Meeson or Steve Heapy might want it. Anyone friends with them ?
It’d certainly look good on PM’s 15 year old Focus!

An old nag?

There's currently a very nice white Range Rover sporting HOR 5 E.
Jockey, trainer, who knows.

Someone at a local flying club fitted his Jag with the “almost, but not quite” plate D1 LOT. He put in a black nylon attachment bolt below the “D”, so that it almost looked like a “P”.

Unknown to him, someone at the club got out a roll of black tape...when he drove off the rear plate had been changed to read “P1LOCK”.

Sitting in the crew room reading Exchange and Mart around 1974 I saw 111 ACE advertised for £100 (on a moped, as I think you had to actually buy the vehicle at that time). I did think of buying it and then ringing 111 up (at Wattisham I think) and seeing what offers I could get, but of course I never did. I wonder where that one ended up.

When I was doing my air traffic training at Shawbury in '83, one of my fellow trainees had the number plate ending in RAF.

But he was RN!

No aviation connection, but I sold my fully serviceable moped with LCH231 years ago for £15. It was later fitted to a VW Beetle and now resides on a SAAB 9-3. I’ve often wondered how much it changed hands for.

Remember seeing HI 2 ATC westbound on the M27 a few years ago, and again in the SRG Gatwick car park.

An Engineering Officer I knew bought the plates J3NGO and S3NGO. When he was still a J Eng O and turned up to work in the S3NGO his S Eng O wasn't very happy.

Which leads inevitably to

P8NGO ............. probably not sought after.

Any pilot I’ve known who has an aviation related number plate is normally the sort of chap who should really have WAN K3R
because they normally are.

Considering your username, that’s rather ironic!

Ha ha ha! Indeed but the difference is that I don’t go parading around showing off but it’s a very good point well made!
