Rude Reggies

This months copy of Flyer features a C172 demonstrating the new diesel engine with a reg of F-OKAF.

A gallic joke perhaps. Is this revenge for G-ZIZI.

Barton has G-ASMS which always makes me think "OR-" ... (or is that my twisted mind?)

Not exactly rude, but G-BUFY operates from Denham. Also, Cabair used to have a Piper Dakota G-TART. I think it now lives at Goodwood. I am currently flying G-BOTI from Blackbushe.

Hardly rude, but D-EADD was parked up at North Weald for a few days this week.

G-ONAD used to be a C421, and I recall a C404 or similar, G-KENT - those who remember Anna-Marie Ash's infamous spoonerism (corrected to Kent Countryside for those who missed it) on the ITN local news a few years ago might enjoy a wry grin.

G-KENT - PPRuNe Pop, was that ever one of yours?

Having disallowed G-BFUC, G-BFUK, etc, how on earth did the CAA let G-FUKM slip through?
