Bizjet paint scrapes

[SOUspotter]

Hope everyone is safe and sound, still with the mind set of 'stay home' rather than 'stay alert'.

'Paint scrapes'. Love the idea or hate the idea.

I have been browsing my biz jet c/n lists I use in Microsoft excel. It's surprising as a paint scraper the times you can see a frame re registered.
I have 11 biz jet frames I have seen re registered five times:

BAe125 c/n 257040
G-OWEB, VR-BPE, VP-BPE, HB-VMD, P4-VVF

BAe125 c/n 257054
C6-BET, G-NCFR, G-OURB, OD-HHF, VP-CFI

BAe125 c/n 257103
G-BHSU, G-LTEC, VR-BOJ, YL-VIR, G-GIRA

BAe125 c/n 258021
G-GEIL, VR-CEJ, G-RCEJ, G-IFTF, G-EGKB

BAe125 c/n 258130
G-FDSL, G-TPHK, G-OSPG, G-DCTA, G-OGFS

Gulf 3 c/n 322
N322GA, N110LE, N555NT, N600ES, N706JA

Gulf 3 c/n 379
HZ-MAL, N379RH, N282Q, N28QQ, N900LA

Gulf 3 c/n 390
VR-BKS, VR-BLO, VR-BOK, VP-BOK, N1M

Gulf 4 c/n 1092
N937US, N3H, N3HX, N661R, N18RF

Gulf 4 c/n 1202
JY-RAY, N369XL, HB-ITF, G-CFOH, M-PZPZ

Learjet 45 c/n 055
G-JRJR, G-OLDF, G-GOMO, G-PFCT, G-UJET

I am sure there are others who have frames with similar numbers of scrapes.

Stay safe

I once did a similar exercise on Agusta A109A c/n 7170, so it's not just a biz-jet thing. Here's what I saw A109A c/n 7170 as: G-OAMH, ROPE, BRYL, MEAN & USTA. If my memory serves me correctly, I think that G-MEAN was one of the choppers that Anneka Rice used to jump in and out of on one of her TV programmes.
Looking in my UK file, this was/is a regular thing with A109s. Here's a couple of others I've noticed with several reggies to their frame!
A109A-11 c/n 7347: G-HBCA, IADT, ISEB, BXCB & OCMM.
A109A-11 c/n 7393: G-OTSL, EEVS, SLNE, EXEK & PERI.
The only other helecopter type where I've been able to follow the 'career' of a single frame is the Ecureuil:
AS350B c/n 1205: G-BHIV, COLN, UNIC, RAHM & JESI.     G-BHIV was my third Ecureuil.
AS355F2 c/n 5364: G-DAFT, HARO, OBHL, ULES & NLSE. The last mentioned is with Network Rail.

Mark, 

That Is why I have reverted back to collecting registrations instead of just frames- it's a job and a half researching what you have seen- some registrations have gone forever with missing log books etc- but just with what you have there 11 frames but you have seen those eleven with 55 different registrations- if every aircraft were like those 11 you would soon have six figures in registrations. (Forgive me if that is already the case). I have still got the frames listed as well.

Happy days and stay safe

Got me wondering which was my most-registered frame.

A quick scan with the Mk1s found one seen under 8 identities:

BAe 125-700  257040 HZ-RC1, G-OWEB, EC-ETI, VR-BPE, VP-BPE, HB-VMD, G-OWDB and P4-LVF (this one had another 7 identities that I didn't see!).

If I was buying a second hand car with that many previous owners I think I would have second thoughts 

I only note the c/n for biz. For some reason or another I don't know why. But I have done so with M-ARIE. I have seen it as a 2 x PC12s, a BE200, a Premier 1
and Hawker 850XP, .I could have seen a duplicated reg on a 747-200 but different c/n. Of course it doesn't happen with UK registered aircraft as the same registration
can't be used by another aircraft - unlike, say, the USA or Manx registered aircraft which are reused. These days, with the internet, aircraft info like c/n, is more readily
available it's easier to piece together an aircraft's history (but I don't think I will start now)

Agreed Bob,

I think if I done just c/n on database my total tally would take a serious nose dive (pun not intended )
Not long ago I scrapped all my military fighters and helos and just collect the military transports, biz. Smallest in my mil collection now is an Irish Air corps. PC12. 
Total mil in my database is now 927.
Although still enjoy seeing them at air shows and museums. Had to go to Rugby in 2018, so after my business there I took the wife to Midland air museum at Coventry. She loved it.
