Guernsey and Jersey launch aircraft registers.
Guernsey and Jersey to launch their own aircraft registers. Anyone know the letters that will be used?

Could it also be the case here like in IOM legislation, where no aircraft could fly under an AOC and all the FPL's would be issued as "G"?
Just wondering...

Given, for historical reasons, that the prefix is based on the International Telecommunications Union call-sign list I would have expected it to be GU- for Guernsey and GJ- for Jersey
However, that noted reference site does suggest 2- for Guernsey... which could be confusing as "2" is allocated to the whole of the UK

The hyphen isn't considered to be a differentiating feature in registrations (it's not used at all in ATC callsigns), so a GJ-xxx registration would be indistinguishable from the 600+ G-Jxxx registrations already issued to UK-registered aircraft, ditto the 250 or so G-Uxxx marks already allocated.
