Title: 42477C

Showed up on BS as XA-MIC PC-12 according to PBLink!!

Not a PC-12 at FL380, 450 knots. Definitely a bizjet from sighting.

Found it as VP-CMW Falcon 7X on Planefinder data recently delivered.

But why was this hex ever considered to be Mexican which is "0D0xxx"?

BaseStation (Countries.dat) shows this as a UK allocated hex code. As does Airframes.

Planebase error?

Yes I think PlaneBase database error for linking this to a Mexican reg.

Cayman Islands have their aircraft registered in the UK sequence

eg VP-CAL 4241BB
VP-CCJ 400068

So I believe this is VP-CMW c/no 267

Owner Volkswagen. Call sign was WGT55L which think is VW.

Even AirNav have it as VP-CMW!!

GAS also has it as VP-CMW.

In fairness, PB has this as a mis-code and shows VP-CMW too.
