I used to fly a plane called G-AZMR. When you are contacting an airfield for landing you use the full five characters, then you just use the last two. Traffic control asked, "Mike Romeo, what is your distance?" I have no idea who it was, but an American accent came over the radio, "Mike Romeo, Mike Romeo, wherefore art thou?" Rare American humour.

A plane called "Gazmer"...

@craiglachman1379 Год назад

This is bizarre! Yesterday, I saw this airplane, now registered as N146EC, at my home airport in Colorado USA. I had never seen one before, so I googled the number and was amused by its former “G” registration. Now, today, I happen to watch this Upstart Crow video and found your comment. Very, very, weird feeling!

@spadebraithwaite1762 Год назад

@@craiglachman1379 Every plane, so far as I know, has a call sign with the first letter identifying the country of the plane's registration. Any British plane will have five letters beginning with G-. I don't know where your guy came from.

@jacobpaint Год назад

While watching I was thinking it had a Blackadder vibe to it so no great surprise that it's written by Ben Elton. Me thinks it was just a matter of good fortune that the character was such good fit for Mr Mitchell although he no doubt gave it his own bent of which gave it such feel as to seem as if written for him.

@@robinlillian9471… neither did the women….just difference in proportion and variation, adapted to current times. Which is the proportion of women vs men in the fandom of that disturbing bit of trash writing called fifty shades of gray? Why is more popular with women in these unlighted times? Is this progress or masked rebellion of women themselves against the third wave which, ironically, is supposed to lift them above and beyond? Is it the extremes which give a regretful reaction in the form of the opposite extreme? Maturity is supposed to give the ability to balance….but as perpetual adolescence being the goal to achieve, does anyone wonder we live in schizophrenic times?
