Data Plate Reproduction

Thu Sep 20, 2018 9:51 pm

Howdy All,

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction, if possible, for information/location(s) as to who might reproduce data plates. Admittedly, I know very little about the process, minimum quantities, etc., however I’m certain that it is by no means cheap, and I need but only two data plates, (which may not even be possible or feasible).

This is in regards to a P2V-5, Tanker 05, donated by Neptune Aviation and recently ferried to Glendive, Montana (KGDV). I would like to place one reproduction back in the airplane, whereas the other plate would supplement a framed and matted picture of the airplane in her airtanker glory, and proudly displayed within our terminal building.

Thank you

Craig Stebbins

Craig,

I have one blank Lockheed Data Plate.
Send me an address and I will get it to you.

I've had trophy shops make very accurate looking reproductions/replacements for aircraft. I usually take in a picture and the dimensions and they can load/scan it into their computers, manipulate the image and create a plate.
