Hi guys,
Seeing poor old G-MIMA in Toms great shots in the Birmingham – 28/12/05 thread, got me thinking about how many times i have seen her over the years. She seems to have been around for ever.
I then started thinking about airframes that i have seen operated by the most number of carriers.
A little bit of database bashing led me to these.

I don’t know about aircraft I have seen which have had several owners, but I have seen some aircraft more than others on the occasions when I get chance to spot. I am not sure off hand of the regs, but regular MAN spotters will know ones I mean.
Each time I’ve been at MAN in the past few years the Tartan Tail Dash 8 has turned up, without fail. Same goes for the Rose Dash 8.
Each time I’ve flown anywhere this year, little G-EMBK has been around, either next to our plane when we boarded, or taxying for departure as we arrived, or parked at the terminal as I spotted or starring in my holiday video in BHX in September. I will miss that little plane when it gets a boring tail 😀 I first saw that one on 30th March 2004, on my first ever spot at BHX the day before my first ever SNBA flight.
Of the SNBA fleet, I have lost count of the number of times I have seen OO-SSK, never any of their other A319s, just that one.
