Flight Number?

What was the flight number?

Not sure it has not been reported as the aircraft was using its registration G-APDN as a call sign rather than a flight number. MilborneOne (talk) 09:06, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting, since it states right at the start of the accident report that this was a regular charter service.Graham1973 (talk) 11:46, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I dont think it is was a requirement in the 1970s that the aircraft or the crew actually needed to use a flight number on the flightplan even for commercial charters. It may be that the flight number was only used by the travel agents and may have been "DA1903" but I cant find a reliable source that quotes it, it may be because it wasnt actually used by the aircraft that it is just not notable.
