Take a look at TL 2.11. Extract below regarding the SS one:

"Another vital and indeed legally required item is a fireproof metal plate (usually stainless steel)
engraved or stamped with the aircraft nationality and registration marks, eg G-ALAA. The Air
Navigation Order (ANO) states that this plate is to be “affixed in a prominent position on the
fuselage”. We interpret this to mean it could be positioned inside or outside the aircraft,
preferably in or near the cockpit, as long as it is easily found when looked for. The ANO used to
require also the name and address of the registered owner to be included on the plate. A
change in the ANO has dispensed with that requirement, which now means that the plate does
not need changing with every change of ownership. Suitable plates are available from the LAA,
see paragraph 4 of this Technical Leaflet."

Robert : All it legally requires these days is , A/C reg. and serial no. stamped onto the S/Steel plate.

Serial no. is not required, Chris. See the post one above yours, from Tony.

Well spotted Rob . I do indeed stand corrected . I whizzed through Tony's post , not noticing that he was quoting directly from TL 2.11 .

It's changed a bit since I built mine .
