Cheers for that, I heard it as Calibrator 42 but I was sure it was using another callsign as well which also was something 42 but couldn't make it out........

What does the flight code VOR denote is that Calibrator?

Their voice callsign is Flightcal and VOR is the 3 letter code for it. Company is called FCS and they do a lot of calibration work around the UK.

Yep, DA42, Diamond Twinstar. Or the "Plastic Pig" as the pilot called it on Sunday. We did have around 30 ILS calibration runs to get done on Sunday, but unfortunately (not) the aircraft calibration equipment had a wobbly after the first run. After another 2 unsuccessful attempts they gave up and bogged off back to Goodwood :clap:
