Keith,
What an interesting find! Would there by any chance be any motorcycles in this list? I am especially interested in the Royal Enfields which were used by the RAF (see also http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/sh...&threadid=9187 ), and my good friend Richard Payne is looking for RAF Norton numbers. Could this list be (the start of) our enigma machine?
Cheers,
Jan
