GSG was originally imported and operated by bobby gibbes who owned and operated 
gibbes sepik airways. in PNG.

 

There are numerous aircraft not under the GFA banner on the VH register that 
are VH-G’s.

 

Many were there before GFA was formed but unfortunately, after the requirement 
to register GFA sailplanes, while intended the GFA did not reserve that G block.

Interestingly, the rego of my 1977 Mosquito (VH-GSG) was a Noorduyn Norseman 
before it was allocated to a glider.

Twenty six letters in the alphabet. So 26 x 26 combinations =676.

So nearly half the gliders and motor gliders aren't G_ _.

There is also at least one powered aircraft with a G registration. IIRC it was 
a Cessna 182. There may be more.

Hi all,

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.
