There's a village in Cheshire, near Nantwich, called 'Coole Pilate'.
How cool(e) it would be to have a strip there!
You would need a car plate P1LOT to go with that
Nearly as bad as mine...Bafford Approach.....but moved here before I started to learn to fly
That one would have cost way more than the car.
I know of 1FLY and FLY1 and one of those, ex Freddie Laker, is widely rumoured to have sold for £500k.
Plates have really gone up in cost. Most of the 1930s ones i.e. AAANNN or NNNAAA (N = numeric, A=alphabetic) are 4 figures, or more.
OTOH you can still pick up funny ones (well, funny to pilots ) like C4VOK for the basic £200 from the DVLA, though C4VOK is gone.
In Perth a guy had a number plate: "IM GRUMPY"...his wife's plate was "GRUMPIER".....think they could have both been pilots! :)
Then there was a guy I worked with who had "AWESOME".....pilot wannabe!
