so when are tca uk getting the 300’s

anyone know were i can get hold of a BMI A330 and a Emirates A330 because i would like to add them to my current collection of planes

Business Air had reserved all registrations from G-GNTA through to G-GNTZ (TZ was used for our one and only 146). These out of sequence registrations do cost more than having one allocated by the CAA, I can’t remember the figures unfortunately.

The GNT was our three letter ICAO code, as we were based in the Granite City (Aberdeen). As for G-RUNG, it used to be F-GGBV, owned by Aigle Azur and from whom we initially leased the aircraft from, away back in 1995/96. It was then bought by an investment company Shooting Star Investments, and the aircraft was then put onto the UK register. It may have since changed hands – ownership wise, but I believe it went straight from us to Aurigny. As to why G-RUNG – no idea, but it was suitable, as the aircraft was a bit of an oddball, which caused numerous issues when the aircraft first arrived.

can you remember what edition that was

G-OOOA was Air 200’s first reg.

I dont know because some airlines dont use any kind of airline code system others do

Flying Colours for example

G-FCLA
G-FCLB

JMC

G-OJMC
G-OJMB

However others like MyTravel

G-PIDS
G-MCEA

however they do have G-OMYT and they were going to have G-OMYA.

Will First Choice new a/c be

G-FCAA
G-FCAB and so on

great report, well thought out
