Gosh that would have need a very long selfy stick to get that photo! The cockpit must have been at least 50ft up in the air after the "defuelling incident!"

Hello Chris, I got a list from Ollie through a post on my Facebook page that has most of the RAF airframes listed but it is good to have some confirmation as mistakes are of course possible. I was hoping that you might be able to supply the code for ZA148 as that one's still 'missing' from my data...

Just to update this search, we have found out most codes thanks to previous posts in this thread and on Facebook but it seems that codes changed whenever an airframe changed hands (for example the EAA codes were different from the ones used by the RAF after conversion to VC10K3). So especially the codes for the early, non-BOAC operators are still proving elusive. If anyone has flying manuals from BUA/BCAL, Ghana or MEA then please shout out as they might be listed in those.

To those of us who wanted a quiet flight the system was sometimes called " SELPEST" !!
