Apt car registrations
Driving between Wootton Bassett and Wroughton today, car going in opposite direction registration C130 ENG, who can guess what he used to be. Anybody own up to it or know who it is? What other apt registrations are held by pruners?
My dream registration is advertised by one of the car registration dealers, 1 G E , however I think that that would be a little out of my price range even with an ex G.E.s wallet!

VC10 BYE at the final flight into Brunty
Tabs please !
A certain balloonist who was part of the team who circumnavigated the globe in the Breitling Orbiter has P1 RTW (Pilot 1, Round The World). Very well earned.
Just along from where I lived in London was a famous actor with two Bentleys. The number plates were 2B and NOT 2B
I always wanted G-SPOT on a balloon as the retrieve crew would be forever trying to find it. I do want G-OFYS on the current toy .

I worked with a US aviation company in New York about 14 years ago - their chief engineer had a personalised plate RADAR (you can choose your own in NY). I was very jealous.

Years ago I saw a brand new Jaguar XJ with the registration CAU710N.
The way it was being driven, it seemed quite apt.

It always seemed strange to me that the UK government misses out on a potentially lucrative money making scheme. Here in the US, you can have pretty much anything you want on your plate with a max of 7 characters, plus plenty of specialised plates with an extra logo on them like if you were or had been in the military for instance. Texas has a website where you can make one up and see if it's allowed or already taken
Having said that, I want my car to be as stock as possible. Just too many nutters and too many guns here. There have been many times when I recognised that I'd previously seen a vehicle because of the vanity plate. I just want to blend in
And to get back on topic, there's this unfortunate one:

AF plates
When I was living in Crantoc just down from Newquay whilst stationed at Lyneham I found the local geographic registration letters were AF so any body at St Mawgan could end up with a RAF registraion. One local sued the County council because they gave him a registration with OAF and he said it was insulting, local opinion was it served him right!
