As for the letters, a guess, Task Group Headquarters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulbrook Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) Cor blimey - finding a page out of a notebook with a registration number on it is, in my very humble opinion, a very long way indeed from establishing whether the vehicle it was found in bore that number. In fact the more I think about it the less likely it becomes in my mind.I am not saying that it isn't the number, but much better to find the data plate, chassis number or even contract number solidly connected to the hull and work from there! TGHQ almost certainly stands for task group HQ - but as such that could refer to any one of a thousand TGs - by their very nature they were and are ad hoc groupings put together for any one of a million reasons - even exercises. I am reminded of the tale of some fellow young officers heading back from a night out in Highworth. Boarding the bus one asked "does this bus go to Shrivenham?". "It says so on the front doesnt it?" replied the grumpy driver. "Ah yes" responded the soberest amongst the potential passengers "and it says Bristol on the back but I bet the bugger didn't come from there...."

robin craig Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Nic. If seated in drivers seat do you not have a plate on the B pillar just above where your left ear is? That is where most Brit BV206s have their data plates. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
