Ag Aircraft Regos

I flew VH-DDT, and it's sister Pawnee spray plane VH-TOX, many years ago off the old Kununurra ag strip.

Most of you would recognise what DDT was, but TOX stood for a delightful material we used - called toxaphene.

Sigh........the smell of cotton spraying in the morning..........

happy days,

A former flying school down here at Bournemouth used to have pale pink aircraft with a picture of flying pigs on the side (not a way to give confidence to students!). They had G-OPIG and G-OSTY. The latter is a C-152 that is still around here, though it has been sold and repainted. The spook on the tail turns it from a sty to a ghostie!

Schoolboy guffaws in this months registrations...

G-HORS, presumably sometimes has to deal with G-IZZZ.

And G-DYKE (registered by an M S BIRD) I assume gets to avoid either.

G-WIZZ is a Baron being used by Chan Ex at the moment.

Ones that readily spring to mind are:

G-DYOU
G-DTOO
G-DCAN
G-DFLY
the Pa.38's of BA flying club a good number of moons ago.

Wellesbourne have G-DONI - Don 1?
We also have Islander G-WOTG at Weston-on-the-Green near here.

G-SARO a Skeeter.
G-DUDZ and G-DUDS were owned by Dudley Patterson.

There was G-BLAG Pitts at Popham but it was a single seater...

And weren't the Tipsy Belfairs given food like reg with G-APIE, G-APEA and G-AOXO or something like that.

One that took a second glance was G-HIJK at Oxford.

I was once told that certain regs cant be used, such as G-IGOD, because of references to religion. Is this true or was i being blonde and naive?? Does anyone actually care?

[GOLF-INDIA BRAVO]

Sixmilehighclub

Yes I think that was the case back in the 50`s and 60`s as the
use of certain conbinations were not used on the UK register

Agreed - If you look through the old registration books at the time various potentially "rude" or offensive registrations were missed... eg those ending in VD.

Other fun/odd registrations I've seen...

G-RFSB - on a RF-5b
G-PSID - on a P-51D
G-XLIV - on a R.44
G-IIAC - on an Aeronca IIAC..

G-BCGC - the "Royal" Chipmunk used by Couldrose (I think it was) Gliding Club

There are loads and won't bore you with more... Too late someone cries!!
