I hope this doesn't bore people too much.
I've only just begun to sort mine out:

I like the green reflectors [?] and wondered what the 'hand eye' symbol represents:

JLH Scaletrix

Denmark

View from roof of fire engine:

Some words about it...

I would guess the 'Eye of Ra' but thought that was 90 degrees different.
I'll have a look ant BigG's link and see if it makes my guess sound silly

My link doesn't seem to mention an Egyptian connection, but I was certain that there was one

I was told it was the hand of Nefertitti - we have a family bracelet from the 1920's with the hand on it which came from Eqypt.

The only eye I know of in Egyptian culture was the eye of Horus. There is however a similar 'eye in hand' symbol used by the native americans, surrounded by a knotted rattlesnake.

While I'm posting links - http://www.dnaalchemy.com/Eye_of_Horus_Background.html

The eye of Horus is/was the eye of Ra, and I've also realised a place I knew something similar from - the US dollar bill

It just means 'look out' hand signals only

Well why don't you just spoil it for us Jonathon

I was doing some serious 'Googling' then too

I've changed my mind, as the eye of ra wasn't on a hand.
Maybe I got confused by trickster David Blane...

My son took 94 photos at the National. I've edited down to 20, if anyone is patient enough to have a look!

I understand 'Google' is now in the Oxford dictionary!

Thanks for all the responses.

The number plate was on this:

Actually no prizes at all
