Seen in FIH, DRC

I saw in Kinshasa, DRC a VIP Bac1-11 registered 3C-QRF

For who knows the Q-codes, QRF is a bad meaning...

Hey VIPs don't board!

Someone reported I-BUST, and ... here it is on airliners.net:

http://www.airliners.net./Airliners_net_image.file?filename=3/9/0/404093.jpg&ZyXtCe=MjIwMDM3&id=

I would recommend every body to send the above link to the AZ's C.E.O.!

It might be that he will finally recognise the financial situation of his company just before touchdown ...



But Alitalia had also

an A300B4-203 registered

I-BUSH

here on airliners net:
http://www.airliners.net./open.file/247330/L/

a C-47 in the '50s registered

I-LORD

as well as a CV-440-81 registered

I-DOVE

and the following Vickers Viscounts

I-LAKE, I-LIFE, I-LIFT (what?), I-LILI (might be Marlene?)

and now they fly a A-320-214 registered

I-BIKE

here on airliners.net:
http://www.airliners.net/open.file/300350/L/

whereas in the early '50s the former L.A.I. - Linee Aeree Italiane flew these DC-6s:

I-LADY, I-LAND, I-LEAD, I-LIKE, I-LINE, I-LOVE, I-LUCK and I-LYNX

Cool

If I've already posted this on here my apologies. I have looked but didn't see it and I know I posted it somewhere
Seen At Sherburn, G-OLOW a helicopter looking rather like the one Whirlybird flies.

Tempting fate.

The one time airport manager at Baginton used to own a Taylor Monoplane registered G-BDNG which everyone used to interpret as 'Berdong...' !

The first couple of B777 BA had delivered were registered G-ZZZA, B etc. During the European cup, and the hype surrounding Paul Gascoigne, G-ZZZA was for a short while changed to GAZZZA

G-WIZZ was obviously rebuilt as it is still flying, serviced at EGLK.
