I saw G 8OAA on a Rover in the spotters' car park at Heathrow a couple of weeks ago.

(G-BOAA was the registration of British Airways' first Concorde.)

JPS 1 on a black Audi A6 fast thingie. Was on the M66 - A L reg (lh drive) Ferarri overtook us, I went to overtake the Audi and he didn't like it so pulled out, overtook then cut back in when the Fearrai exited the road and I then overtook him. Must have been a Audi thing!

E4 RLE last week on the M62.

on a black Range Rover thingy. Illegally spaced so it made a word, if you squinted and bent your brain. Wasn't particulary early though.

G-BOAA was the first to go into service with BOAC and the last to find a home when they stopped under BA.

 

[wallingd]

Makes sense - but I thought -C was the #1 plane Myself.

Saw FAT61T on a Boxster the other day, looked like FAT GIT. Didn't see if the driver was one though...

***7 RAD

Is a combination on just about all the vehicles run by an orange liveried scaffolding firm in London [you can work out who] - wagons, vans and a lot of Audi A3s.....

There is also a plumbing firm with a blue livery who have lots of comedy numberplates that include words like ..5INK.., ..WC..., ..P1PE... etc. Must cost them a fortune.
