PPU:
Professional Pilots Union
People Potential Unlimited
Peace Pledge Union
Palestine Polytechnic University
People's Protection Units
Pirate Party of Ukraine
Point Park University
Prvi Partizan

Peace Pledge Union is probably the most obvious (although he could be a pilot?):

Oh I can see a Monty Python sketch out of this

You would have to contact the PPU and ask if they have archived records and if they are willing to release information of members
