That last one is unbelievable 
I can see the Greek CAA registering stuff like SX-ROD or SX-BUM (due to lack of staff ELP) but surely, in Berlusconi-land…?
Well, that CAA certainly has plenty of ELP in its staff

G-SPOT was destroyed many years ago – probably c. 1986. The reg would have been issued before the expression became commonly used for “that area”
There must have been a time where they just took the next letter from the alphabet and didn’t care:

Interesting that G-GOLF was crashed… M-GOLF was crashed this year, also (avoiding a horse during a failed go-around). M-GOLF also had a near miss with our winch wire when it came over the launch point unannounced last year.

Some aircraft are just labelled to crash, this was one that used in a film crash scene overhead Scotland and then went down for real just after, it had a films nickname “Wreckage Brother”

That looks amazing – had to look it up. The spec is more amazing.
