OG, Hi
Definitely ‘AOG’ means ‘Aircraft On Ground’. In the V-Force days an AOG spare part often meant a car (or motorcyclist) being sent to the manufacturers to fetch whatever.
It was still in use on Op CORPORATE. While on Ascension we ‘blew’ a small (but vital) circuit-board in the satellite receiver. We signalled UK for a replacement. SRAFO ASI said “Put ‘treat as AOG’ in the signal”. We did. The spare arrived next day! We later learned that some ‘Erbert at the manufacturers had been hauled out of bed in the middle of the night to get The Bit to Lyneham in time to catch the next Herc to ASI!!
It means “Do Not ‘Ang About”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HTH

Resmoroh – Thanks for the confirmation. I ask the question because Airwork had a contract for AOG Spares which was operated from Booker. The contract, certainly at Booker, ceased in 1963.

He asked about BA but as Deano sayd there are so many variables. I had thought maybe an accountant type might frequent the forums but then the accountant types I have met are not particularly interested in aviation:D
Thanks for the replies.

Actually, Wieesso it is in connection with this that I was asking because quite frankly I don’t believe there was a crash with 9 fatalities. It is merely to spice the Dyatlov incident up. There is a further dubious connecting story about the Mansi people of the region which says that 9 of the Mansi died on the mountain in ancient times as well. I think certainly the air crash part is hokum but of course you can never say that until you have checked it out properly.
