Hello People/Hallo Leute! - not a request for a flightplan, so forgive me if I should have posted this somewhere else, but this forum is SO full of knowledge, I'm sure someone can help!Does anyone have a source for numero-alphabetic callsigns used by BA and LH? For example LH3887 uses "Lufthansa three whiskey uniform" instead of the actual numbers. Flights from London to Manchester begin with "Shuttle 2..." Can anyone direct me to where I might find lists of these callsigns?Yours hopefully, SkaSkinB

Thank you both for this - Andrew, what I was looking for was a list of flight numbers and their corresponding callsigns - would you know where I'd find such a list - or if it even exists?ThanksSkaSkinB
