An ex mil acquaintance retired and bought himself a Mazda MX-5. The registration he put on it was Y1 CBA. When asked about it (the car was newer than a Y reg) he laughingly told everyone it stood for “Why I Can’t Be Ar$€d”.

I saw VC10JAG in Southrop a couple of years ago and I think the owner frequents this forum.

Haven’t been on PPRUNE for a while but came across this thread last night and it got me thinking of suitable plates for Ex Herc mates…some of which have already been mentioned (C130 ENG, C130 NAV, OC70 LXX etc etc.). Then by some completely random coincidence I was driving through Addingham, near Skipton, today and plate on the car in front was 47 SF!

Remember seeing that last one on a large Merc in a car park at Heathrow many years ago. Remember thinking "did I really just see that!"

Could have brought EX06 RAF from an ex Tinopener mate selling for charity. Wife said no. Not that sad to do so.
