Question OT bit of fun: Which airport is your car?

Stuck in (non-Olympic-related) traffic earlier today and, bizarrely, I spotted two cars with registration plates which 'stood out'. One ended 'LHR', the other 'LGW'. The first four characters / numbers of each were not noteworthy!

A strange coincidence, but got me thinking which airport my own registration plates were. And it turns out:

TBJ: Tabarka Airport, Tunisia
KNV: Knights Inlet Airport, Canada

So - how about you? Anyone got a JFK or LAX out there? ^

Or how about a BA** LHR?

I had (no longer) SF02LAX which I though was great for a HWY1 drive. Unfortunately on a company car which I had to give back.......

I had YYZ. If AY flew there I could have had a flight code too!

Glad it's not just me who thinks about these geek-like things

NI plates usually start with 3 letters and finish with 4 numbers rather than a jumble used on the mainland.

BRZ: Borotou Airport, Cote D'Ivoire.

I rather like that one too. Could only be beaten by either of my two personal fave National Parks:

DTH (Death Valley airport) or CNY (Canyonlands Field, near Moab, Utah)
