Civilian registrations on military vehicles
I have a similar question: I know that these civvy regs weren't used anymore from somewhere during 1939 onwards. I have found Norton pictures with census numbers 39 9175 and 39 58xx, both with Middlesex registrations. A BSA picture with census number 39 148xx doesn’t seem to have a civilian registration. Looks as if they stopped issuing civilian registrations around census number 39 100000. If we consider that the 1939 census numbers ran from 39 000 until 39 43989, we can assume that the civilian registrations were omitted during the spring of 1939. Didn’t find any other 39’ers with civilian registration, so I’m not 100% sure about this… Who’s got other pictures / facts to prove my theory?
