Tarnish to Felix?

Has anyone got any idea as to why Bae Warton have changed callsigns from Tarnish to Felix?
Or
Has this become a company wide callsign as opposed to having them based on the aircraft base?

Cheers muchly

SH

Think it's because it's BAe Corporate Air Transport some witty so and so thought of Felix the Cat.

SH,
NOT just Warton, but all BAe c/s are now "Felix"
I DO agree

Well, that explains a lot. Why do I have to find this stuff out from a rumour network???

Don't answer that, just tell me - is it still WTN?

Hippy.

Saw a BAE41 go into EGLF the other day - haven't seen WTN on the screens for a while.

Had no idea SH was such a spotter!

I can't remember from whom or when I heard it, but its just the corporate flying side that has changed to BAE, "Felix".
The test flying will still be WTN, "Tarnish".
