Aviation Number Plates.
 

Sorry if this has been visited before, but I saw

V1PHS

on the A1 today ..... ex Harrier perhaps?

Also SKY80Y at a Finningley Open Day, and the then head of the Mobile Met. Unit had MMU1.

In the car-park at LATCC,I often saw a car with a reg.of ATC plus a few numbers.

Mine is VC10AFC. Many of those ex No 10 Sqn have VC10 in their number. For example, ex Nav Boss has VC10NAV & there is VC10 PLT, VC10FLY & VC10 ENG. etc.

I do hope nobody has CRA 5H...

M25 near Heathrow, 2016.

No, Constable ... I was in a National Express coach, LGW-LHR, at the time.

A certain ex Herc and E-3D Nav has C130NAV

There are rules against using the letters in that manner. If pulled, the courts can take the number off you, it also is an instant attractor to Traffic.

Not round these parts. People get away with whatever they want.

Not the UK reg, but the one in the window, from North Carolina. "Vzlet" is Czech for "takeoff". (Occasionally adopted as a username!)

Brize circa 1990 I remember one of the cars on the patch near me had the reg A 10 NAV

E3SUX used to be available - I almost bought it four years ago. Any disgruntled E-3 aircrew not willing or able to make the trek up north could always go for E7SUX (£399).

About 30 years ago I was waiting to cross a junction in the centre of Lincoln, when a Rolls/Bentley (not sure which) wafted past wearing the plate '1 RAF'. Very impressive - always remembered that.

I have seen a Porsche 911 with 'V1 V2 R', and at Shawbury there was - maybe still is - a bootie pilot with 'FLY RM' on his car.

Best plate I ever saw was not aviation related. At a carshow there was an original Lamborghini Countach with a front plate which was 'T13VOM'. It took me a minute to get it - when you see it behind you in the rearview mirror, it reads 'MOVEIT'.

Saw this one in the hotel car park at Gatwick.

Mine is XL04DYO Shows as X L04DY 0

:)

Saw BAN163L adjusted to BA NIGEL it was on a car saying For Sale £3500 with registration.
Some wag added £4000 without registration 😂

I was bored one night and started searching aviation related plates and found this for £250. Couldn’t resist buying it. (I don’t even work for the company)

Less than 24 hours later an engineer offered me £500 and the dad of a FA offered me £750.

Im greedy so I kept it hoping Phil Meeson or Steve Heapy might want it. Anyone friends with them ?:}

Not aviation related but..........

Seen in a village west of Aberdeen over 20 years ago:
K9 CUM

Once came upon a vessel named "IVNIC8"

Didn’t Fiona Richmond have the plate FU2 ?

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

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.

I wonder if the owner of P1 LOT frequents this forum?

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”.

F4 JET seen at RIAT in 2019

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.

Yes, I remember that very clearly!

Fiona Richmond - a blast from the past! Saw a Tesla with the registration ECAR this evening.

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

Not aviation-related but overtaken by a Tesla S this evening with reg 1ON.

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! :E

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!

Good that you also see the funny side :ok:
