OT: Aircraft registration game

The other day I landed at MUC and I saw a private aircraft with the registration D-ICE. I tried to find a picture but couldn't. Got me thinking, is there a 'market' for interesting aircraft registrations like there is for license plates? I would like the one below...



So, what interesting and/or funny registrations can you find. The G-BUSH does not count anymore.

How kind! It was overall silver in my post-War days.

Built by Morris Motors in 1940, IIRC

Picture information from Anet:

Biggin Hill (BQH / EGKB)
UK - England, May 18, 1974

Quite a while ago.

EDIT: found more history here http://www.abpic.co.uk/search.php?q=T8191&u=reg including the plane in silver.

At least T8191 is still flying, IIRC, unlike the much lamented G-BOAC

Don't D- registrations have four characters after the hyphen?

That's what I thought but it clearly said D-ICE.... Could not find a pic, should have taken one. There also was a D-ECEO which is more funny for a Dutchman because it reads as The CEO.

Airliners-thingy denies the existence of G-ATCO … I'll have that one, before HeathrowTower grabs it

And, no, nothing to do with lawnmowers, before you ask!!
