OK, if it's not a silly question.....

How do you know what plane you're on?
I've never really bothered to take any notice of the reg of planes I've flown on, and often it's not possible to see the reg letters down by the tail (jetway without windows etc.). I guess there's a plaque inside or something, is there?

Also, why is G-BLNG a landmark any more than any other BA 744? (or is that just personal because of "something" that happened on board, Kered? )
