As long as they're not reissued within living memory that's OK, unless
there is a family connection.
Ofcom has made a statement about the reissuing of callsigns: https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0015/221532/Call-sign-policy.pdfRecycling old call signs means that they can continue to be used for generations to come
As long as they're not reissued within living memory that's OK, unless there is a family connection.G2s were only issued until 1939 (not many originals still around), were an artificial license and couldnt transmit, plus the assignment never went as high as UWX, so it is an original callsign, never used.

And I did my intermediate at 24, Pipa did 3 exams in less than a year, at 30 while blind. People all enter the hobby at various ages, work to various levels, as they wish. Picking a callsign to honor a person in your life is not a novelty. People wontWokeness isnt bad, wallowing in how things used to be however, is a very sad existenceIt won't die out there will still be people interested, perhaps fewer
better no-CB pirate people who don't need things dumbed down for them
where you are not allowed to fail and won't collect personalised
callsigns like car number plates .....I got my full Licence when I was
21 sat a three hour written exam and a morse test to get on Hf...I only
ever have had one callsign ..... I was slagged off on 80m for buying commercial gear nothing changes....
