Many moons ago, BOAC's new Britannia G-ANBG was re-registered as G-APLL because someone belatedly realised that "NBG" stood for "No Bloody Good" in the vernacular of the time.

C206 ZK-DOA still flies parachutists, also C207s ZK-WET and stablemate ZK-DRY operate scenic flights - funny thing is that DRY is a floatplane, WET is the wheeled one...

G-WIZZ is now a Baron based in EGHH. The G-INFO database seems to be out of date on it, though.

Air Wales registrations

Although not funny I believe all Air Wales aircraft have set registrations on their ATR's .

G-CDFF - Cardiff based charter a/c
G-SWSE - Swansea based a/c op DUB ,LCY , JER AND AMS
G-KNNY- Old friend of one of the shareholders of the company i believe
G-TAWE - Originating from Abertawe ( Swansea ) in Welsh where the a/c is based from Air Wales Swansea hub

Anymore anyone ?

Cheers

There was a US registered plane around at Biggin on Sunday, only caught the shortened form of its registration, but it made me smile every time they came on saying "two two tango"...

Well, that's all it takes...

In the good old days when we could fly from Humberside to Heathrow, Air Anglia had two F27's. G-STAN and G-SPUD..
