Is there a way to find registrations of planes ive flown on?

[LP670]

Ive recently become a bit of a plane geek and would like to know if its possible to find which planes ive previously flown on? I keep all my old tickets so have the flight numbers and dates i travelled on, i actually remember the model of aircraft ive flown on its just the registration i dont have. Any help appreciated.

How far back in time do you want to go?

Furthest back is 12 years, the rest are within the last 5 years.

The easiest to track is US flights, as there is a government site that is searchable. I found it on a thread on pprune/flyertalk/airliners.net can't remember which, but it came up when I searched the exact same thing, to fill in missing flights from years ago.

If you have flown in/out of Heathrow or Gatwick, go here:

There are tricks to get old data out of flightware too - I found out from the thread I mentioned above.

G-info if they're uk based

I didn't think that G-INFO listed flights. It does contain all UK civil registrations - which is useful at times in identifying aircraft but I didn't think it could be used to link individual aircraft registrations with specific flight numbers.

This is useful - to look at where G-ERIC has gotten to, always good to keep tabs

[ghost83]

No but if he knows the carrier and they're U.K. Based then he can narrow his search

List the dates and flight numbers of those that arrived/departed Heathrow and I can give you those.

Unless we're talking hundreds. I'm a nice guy, but I do have a life.

I saw a message posted in 2017 saying it was possible to identify a particular aircraft that was used on a specific flight at Heathrow. I have almost a complete record of my flights dating back to the 1950's but I do not know which Tridents I flew on from Aberdeen to Heathrow on 12/12/79 BA5601 and back to Aberdeen the same day BA5614 Can anybody help ?

Bit of a tall order after almost 40 years. I presume these would have been “Shuttle” flights.

By 1979 many of the Trident 1s had already been retired.

Further to my message about Trident Flights on 12/12/1979 I have tried to narrow down the possibilities particularly in relation to Trident 1's By December 1979 only G-ARPD/H/K/L/U/N/O/P/R/W/X/Z and G-AVYB/C/E were still in service However, virtually all Trident 2's and 3's are possible.
I do have photos of Trident 3's in Aberdeen but all are dated 1974/5 which probably reflects the growth of passenger traffic as the Oil Boom developed which culminated in the use of some Tri-stars before the 757's became the norm. I don't think, strictly speaking, that Aberdeen had a ''Shuttle Service'' as did Glasgow and Edinburgh as I understand that a seat was guaranteed on theses services with a standby aircraft such as a BAC 1-11 available to take up any overflow. There are stories of these standby aircraft leaving with very low numbers of passengers.

The plane finder app has a great historical playback facility, it’s not based on individual aircraft, you just put in a timeframe, select and area on the global map and you can watch back everything that goes by.
