For me it is sad to see an airframe returned to service after a hiatus, needing a new registration, thereby losing the continuity. Others will pipe in for themselves, about the preference to have a VH-G.. reallocated ahead of a new intermediate prefix. And those who favour monikers ahead of VH-… as their call sign, recognition, etc. Emilis On 24 Apr 2016, at 8:28 am, Justin Sinclair <justinjsincl...@hotmail.com> wrote: > I probably should know this but how do we control registrations. > Hackett, Borgelt or Scutter will no how to calculate how many markings are > available starting with G but I suspect that there are many G _ _ that are > unflown. > I guess my question is how many gliders are out there never to fly again and > do we actively control them. > I get that there are many aircraft that are capable of restoration however > surely things like Blaniks and other things hanging from hangar trusses that > will never be flown again can be de-registered back to their serial number so > that should a miracle happen they can be registered. > Justin _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.base64.com.au http://lists.base64.com.au/listinfo/aus-soaring
