Hello all , a quick question...

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to see what the type is by the 43C code ... sometimes i get a hit on radar but no info/detail . Obviously there are numbers following the 43C !

Many thanks in advance
APS

From what I can tell the majority seem to be UK Military. That is as far as 43c350.

The first ones are Tornado F3, followed by C130 and other military transport

Correct - all codes starting with 43C are UK military allocations.

Is there a list anywhere that shows the code allocations for the first 3 figures?

There's a table showing which codes are allocated to which countries at http://www.libhomeradar.org/databasequery/icao24allocations.php
