Funny to see 9H-AJP A332 and a bit further 9H-AJPP B738 while most of the other Mango B738's have a normal 5 digit reg.
I guess someone made a small mistake when allocating regs onto the Maltese register...
There is also a second Thai A350 present: OE-IBP (to become HS-THO) but this one was hiding in one of the hangars.
OE-IBV will become HS-THP.
N260GE B738 Mango is in the scrapping area and had already several parts missing.

Also here, Dan Raistrick visited the field 2 days earlier (pure coincidence):

A lot of A380s. Including one with a Maltese reg.!

There are now more cases where Maltese regs have 6 characters instead of 5. One would think that for a small country like Malta, 5 characters would be sufficient, but then there are those "false" registrations for economic reasons...

AAA to ZZZ definitely offer sufficient possibilities…
There must be another reason behind 6 digit regs.

Money rules I guess...
Maltese bizz-jets include 9H-777MF, 9H-GSWAN, 9H-SPEED and 9H-VISTA (7 digits).

There were 8 9H-registered A380's on the field.
