Thanks for comment on C20 call-sign, however, crew noted in town, enjoying the local cuisine, they were VR 48, maybe a joint operation??, but '093 allocated to 48 for a long while.

Don't agree on this one, CNV2 indicates C20
CNV1***is a C12
CNV3*** is a C130
CNV4*** is a C40
CNV9*** is a C9
CNV5** is TDY middle east
CNV6** is Naples/ Sigonella TDY or based
CNV7** i think is Japan and surroundings, also TDY
