SPOOKY - OR WHAT?

The car that carried Archduke Ferdinand and his wife to their fates at the hand of the terrorist Princip is

kept in a military museum in Vienna.  It has been pointed out to its custodians that the registration

plate of this vehicle shows the following extraordinary mark, its relevance apparently not picked up

until a keen-eyed visiting observer remarked on it to the museum.

A111 118

which, of course, can be interpreted as....

A - for Armistice

11 11 18

The first "group" is said to be lettering (rather than partial numbers) BUT it is still uncannily similar to Western European eyes with knowledge of the importance of that particular date.

Spooky - or what?
