Does this aircraft still survive????

No. Civil marks are one time only on ‘G’

Not completely true, there have been a few examples of reuse and quite a number of reallocation (there is a difference).

We sure are! Hopefully this one – in the same colours as the first, incidentally – is around for some time to come.

Thanks Moggy, I had no idea!

There are a couple of ZK- marks which are up to their fifth or even seventh aircraft.

ZK-VNM being one example – every time they crash one they fetch another Venom and stick the same registration on it. I think they’re currently on number three. 🙁

The first G-AARB – the Moth – belonged to Jean Batten.

Are civil marks not able to be re-used in the UK? There are a couple of ZK- marks which are up to their fifth or even seventh aircraft.

Nice to know some civil servants had a sense of humour.

Could this be it?

The Marks G-AARB were allocated to a de Havilland 60 Moth August 1935. As Newforest says cancelled in Dec 46.

Have never heard of a Bordair 2c or the Aircar Co. Ltd. Why would you be working on a Flight Manual in 1962 for an a/c was cancelled from the register in 1946. Does not add up.

Cancelled 1/12/46, sorry, doesn’t answer your question though!
