vehical numbers

Does anybody know Did the Royal Navy have its own vehicle numbering system or would it have used the standard system.
If it did does anybody know where I could trace it. I have a tank with RN6943 on it and dont know if its genuine or somebodies flight of fancy.

To the best of my knowledge, no-one has ever discovered any Admiralty vehicle records.

Period photos show RN used as a prefix and as a suffix. I know of photos of RN 6908 and RN 6914.


What colour is the tank, if it's dark blue or battleship grey then almost certainly an owner's artistic licence.

Re: vehical numbers

Out of interest Colin. What make of bike is your tank off?

Photos seem to show that they started to use RN as a prefix and then went over to RN as a suffix??

I have two ex RN bikes and the numbers are fictitious. Ron

Its a G3 painted Navy blue with chrome wheels and exhaust. looks pretty so I will keep it as it is, and the number false or not sets it off so it can stay,

Have it how you want it, you paid for it...
Personally, I think the post war period should be better represented but it isn't (yes there was one). However, the fixation seems to be with the 39-45 period....If people think Burma was the forgotten campaign Korea et all are more forgotten...Ian
