Farnborough Air Training Corps - 457 squadron, has a minibus with reg 457 RAF or RAF 457, cant remember which.

I'm surprised that so far someone hasn't posted vitriol about personalised plates.....

Here in Jersey we just have Jnnnnnn, but stupid money is paid for low numbers. J52 would be 'worth' over £20,000.

Talking of Richmond, remember FU 2.

Or in West Byfleet a TR7 (that dates me) 5EXY and no the driver was far from it

Feel free to start a thread in JB...... All depends how you define "vitriol " of course.

No they haven't. I selected the plate that's on the fun car.

For several years I had V2 VNE on various cars (V1 not available). Fine in airport staff car parks, after retirement it wasn't quite the same in Waitrose car park, so sold it on. I believe it is presently on a TUI Captain's motorbike...

Well last I heard (and that was many years ago in fairness) there used to be full page adverts in the newspapers listing various plates that with imagination (varying from a little to a significant amount) could be turned into words ... if you took a 1 as an I or a 5 as an S etc, but the vendors were all private sellers

Here you can go to a website and create pretty much whatever string you want, so you could have your Prune User name as your license plate if you chose to. Sure it's a private company running it, but the state gets a cut of the proceeds

It has been the same in the UK for decades.

DVLA Personalised Registrations - Buy private registrations direct from the DVLA. From £250 fully inclusive

Out of pure interest I check on Boss Hogg a few weeks ago & it comes up as BO55 HOG on a Harley Davison

I’d be a hypocrite if I did.

Back in the 90's at Colt, there was a civvy driving around in a beaten up piece of poo, Vauxhall "Astra".......On the back, where it said "Astra" He had printed out a sticker and placed it in front of the Astra badge saying: PER ARDUA AD :) Muppet

Interesting. Not quite the same though. I tried looking for BFRASER and it gave me BF03 RAS, BF04 RAS, BF05 RAS and BF06 RAS as well as several others that weren't even close

If you were in Texas you could use my plates dot com to choose something a lot closer like BFRASER or B.FRASER or B <a little map of Texas> FRASER etc

There used to be a fellow stacker kicking around who had the reg F676 RAF.

As has been mentioned AF is a Cornish registration. NT is a Shropshire reg and yes the Station Commander had a car with UNT suffix plus the desired prefix.

I could but it's not worth getting worked up about something so patently silly.

There we go.

P8ASW has been seen.

Cheapest.
 

I got a personalised number plate for only £50, by changing my name, by deed poll, to LNK 810H. Paul Raymond used to have PEN 15, with appropriate spacing.
