Flight Numbers

Today a fleet of aircraft crossed over to Cardiff for the Heineken Cup Final (We won! We won! [^] [^] [^]) and this evening a whole raft of flights are due in to ORK (and no doubt DUB and SNN) bringing the fans back. I notice from the Cork Airport website that these planes are then leaving with the letter P or F after the flight number. What is the significance of these letters? I'm guessing P might be for Positioning, but F?

Yeh not sure what F means- but its interesting as i seem to recall that BY use to (not sure it TOM do) put letters at then end of their flight numbers- for example BY981D to SFB...always wondered why they did that as well.

COngrats on the rugby- 3rd time lucky!!! or was it 4th time lucky- throughly deserved regardless of how many times tho! [oo]

I've seen 'T' used after VS flight designations to indicate a Training flight - normally landing practice at East Midlands.

no idea about the 'F' through.
