Yes, I am not sure when I will be back in the Knokke region. Perhaps the spring.

Just let me or Fred know when you're passing by...

One more question about bridge plate numbers...

I've been looking at original Jeep pictures and I see numbers 2,5 and even 6 on jeep bridge plates...
What would be most correct on this particular Jeep?

Thanks

I cannot imagine why one would display a 5 or 6 ton bridge plate on a Jeep of this type.

Me neither, but still plenty of pictures show plates with a 5 on Jeeps in Western Europe in 1944/45
