Special shape commercially sponsored hot air balloons have to take the prize for originality. For example:
Bertie Bassett - G-BXAL (Bassett's Licorice Allsorts)
Alka Seltzer - G-CURE
Financial Times - G-ETFT
Ordnance Survey - G-MAPS
Guiness can - G-PURE
Sonic the Hedgehog - G-SEGA
National Power cooling tower - G-WATT
Ice cream cone - G-ICES
Uncle Sam - G-USAM
BBC1 World - G-IBBC
Peanut - G-PNUT
Golf ball - G-PUTT
Light bulb - G-LAMP
Toliet rolls - G-LOOS
J&B Whiskey bottle - G-JANB
Flying Saucer - G-GUFO
Santa Claus - G-HOHO
Humpty Dumpty - G-EGGG
There was a special shape condom around at one point - I'd like to think it had an appropriate reg... G-ROPE or G-HARD perhaps.

The Air Inter flying club has (used to have) an ASH-25 registered as F-CHIT
A Breguet 901 is registered as F-CCCP, still airworthy after almost 50 years (pic).
Rumor has it that it outlanded once in Switzerland and was mistaken for a soviet glider for a few minutes.
Some other ones (taken from http://www.teaser.fr/u/pbrugier/f_f.htm)
F-CAKE CASTEL 301S
F-CEXY GROB 102 ASTIR CS 77
F-BUTT PIPER PA.34 200 SENECA

I remember seeing a photo a few years back in "Pilot" of
G-WILI and G-PUSI parked next to each other at a horse race meet....somebody post it if you've got it.
GOJET Manx's little 146 darling...
G-DOFY the Duchess of York's Jet Ranger she used to have.

Nerik,
in that case the aircraft must have been one from LH partner airlines, since all aircraft flown by LH itself have either D-ABxx (Boeing) or D-AIxx (Airbus).
So long, DBate

C-IMFC, a Zenair is owned by retired actor John Morgan (ex-Royal Canadian Air Farce tv show).
He had a half-wit character on the show named Mike from Canmore, AB. He always opened the skit with, "Hi I'm Mike...From Canmore".

Seems you sometimes need the same sort of wild imagination to make something out of nothing here just like those sillies with their "personalised" car plates.
G-DOFY was not the D of Y's, she merely learned to fly in the scrofulous old heap which some sycophant had re-registered for the occasion.
Why have none of the Police units got G-LOLO? Hmm, something to do with coppers' sensavumour perhaps!
The CAA some years back refused, if memory serves, G-ZIZI, which apparently is french slang for the female pudenda. How the hell did they know that???

Miserlou,
I flew the OY-BUM quite often, the registration fits the aircraft quite well.
Many moons ago, there was a C337 in Denmark with the unexciting registration OY-AGU. However tha danish CAA didn't like it when the owner added RK to the reg; in danish AGURK means cucumber. see http://www.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!/open.file?i...tic=yes&size=L

An aircraft was registered in Western Australia to a man with a bad stutter "VH - PPP"
Heard to say on frequency one day
"Kalgoorlie Flight Service this is PPPPP, F@7k it you know who I am and I'm coming in"
