The official name of Newfoundland, which has always included Labrador, has now been changed to Newfoundland and Labrador. The 2 letter mail designation for Newfoundland, which was NF, has been changed to NL to more accurately represent Newfoundland and Labrador.

Mike Franks reports that the letters I, Q, U, and Y have not been used since 1985, and are skipped with each configuration. The letter O, however, is still used.

Flag HMT 978 Andrew Osborne reports that Irwin-Hodson manufactured Newfoundland plates in a completely redesigned base that is the third variety of the flag design. "Canada" has been removed from the plates and the new style began at HHA 001. The first batch of Veteran plates was made by Waldale, numbered HHB 001 through HHB 999. The HHB alpha was skipped in the Irwin-Hodson contract, as the contract started at HHA 001, and on up to HJG 999, skipping HHB plus a couple of other alphas because of certain letters they do not want to use. The bulk of Veteran plates are on the Irwin-Hodson contract, and are numbered HJL 001 to HJP 999, which is an extension of where the Irwin-Hodson made car plates will end. The bottom line is that there will be two varieties of passenger plates made by Irwin-Hodson, Commercial plates made by Waldale, Commercial plates appearing on cars, and two varieties of Veteran plates on the road. The HLx series is a continuation of the HHx and HJx type from Irwin-Hodson.
The current high has Waldale dies.
The Flag plate ended at HMT-999.
The letter U is omitted. 		Andrew Osborne
