The FAA has a database where people can look up aircraft registrations. Is there a similar service in the UK? (I’m trying to see if [Tipsy B Trainer C-AISC](https://abpic.co.uk/pictures/view/1602361) still exists. The link shows it in 1975, which is the latest photo I found.)

I put “UK aircraft registration database” into Google. This was the first link it found: [https://siteapps.caa.co.uk/g-info/](https://siteapps.caa.co.uk/g-info/)

:smack:

Looks like G-AISC is still registered. 🙂

Thanks.  
[Errata] It should be ‘G-’ in the OP, not ‘C-’.
