SmallParkShuttle 143 #1 Posted March 27, 2013 Good morning all, Does anyone know if the R44s ever had fiberglass number plates? I was wondering how they achieved the black-number-on-clear-background number scheme on delivery. Were the white-on-black replacement plates prior to renumbering fiberglass also, or did they switch to metal then? Thanks in advance, SPS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SmallParkShuttle 143 #4 Posted April 1, 2013 Thanks guys. Every now and then, the Transit Museum Gallery at GCT has a couple of those number plates for sale at a reasonable price. I was pretty sure they were from the R44, but I wanted to make sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
