General Chat

Gwyn,

I have been trying to make it out, and think it might be an electricity pylon, or something. Not easy to make out.

All the time I have been on here you would think I would know this. How do I find GR photos?

Ann, in the menu on left (boards summary) click on success videos and photos...the photos are just below videos on right of page

Thanks Rose

right found it now. I don't think that is a single J I think there is another letter before it.
If it was a Jersey number and it is the forties it would be very surprising. Jersey was under occupation from 1940-45 and I am sure all cars were requisitioned by the German Army. Unless it was the very end of the forties, I think it took quite a while for them to recover.
It is a lovely photo and the lady on the right does bear a striking resemblance to Vera Lynne. Dizzie, I once found a photo and sent it to Practical Family History where it was identified by somebody, you could try that.

I agree with Ann in glos.

At first glance it does look like a Jersey registration but the number is too high, there would not have been that many cars here then.

We bought a new car about 15 years ago (we've had others since) and the reg was J70***. My current car, less than a year old, only has the reg 117***

erm just a thought, as it does look like an American car if not in America...would states have had their own letters for the reg number...thinking NJ... New Jersey?

Nope just looking at license plates on various sites, nothing like that lol

LATE LAST NIGHT I EMAILED THE JERSEY EVENING POST TO SEE IF IT IS A JERSEY PLATE
JUST RECIEVED A REPLY TO SEND THE PHOTO
THEY WILL PUT IT IN THE PAPER
NEVER KNOW MAY FIND OUT SOMETHING

thats a good idea Dizzi, keep us posted on any outcomes !!
