Perfect pair. Pair perfect.
We do sometimes encounter people who own several ‘Number-One’ plates; it’s uncommon, but it happens. Very occasionally, we encounter people who own both versions: the letters-first format and the numbers-first variant. Now, that’s pretty rare.
DBH 1 and 1 DBH
David Baillie Hamilton from South Lanarkshire owns that rare set, the forward and reverse versions of his number-one initials plates. DBH 1 is displayed on a Range Rover and 1 DBH on a Land Rover Defender. David also has a Bell 505 Jet Ranger X light helicopter bearing the aircraft registration G-DBHI.
Two cars and a helicopter
Now that really is rare. We could count the number of times we have seen the same ‘Initials’ plates on two cars and a helicopter on the fingers of one hand. Actually, we could do it on the fingers of one finger. We’re willing to bet that David has achieved something unique. It certainly makes for a terrific photograph.
‘DBH’ registrations were issued by Buckinghamshire County Council, and DBH 1 dates right back to 1936. The reversals, like 1 DBH, are all later, from the mid-1950s.
