Tiff’s right on about the lack of font matches. Another option: CP Company.

Not an exact match by any means, but the letters are very close to DIN Bold.

If you’re looking to match UK license plates, check out Mandatory.

:^) I’d guess this is mechanical then and you will only find semi-matches. Sorry.

Yes - it is an aircraft registration - nice catch :-)

Is this from the side of a plane or something? Looks very mechanical.

I came close with Helvetica Bold and Europa - but close isnt good enough ;-).

Reminds me of licence plates in the UK....

Thanks in advance.
