About this plate
AIRSIDE PLATES. Included because they are a stocked, formatted, numbered Danish plate type in the authority's own catalogue, and because a parse API meeting "RF 24 721" should not silently fail. Two things make them unlike everything else in this file: the vehicles are not ordinarily registered for road use at all, and the letters are fixed rather than serial.
About its years
2012 is the date of SKAT's catalogue, the only authority document that describes these plates; it bounds the start from above. Danish Wikipedia reports a colour history, green with black characters, then red with white, then yellow with red "siden 2011", which if correct puts the current design at 2011; that is secondary and conflicts with the catalogue's own colour words, so it is recorded below rather than adopted.
About the format
The letters are FIXED at RF, so they are spelled as literals rather than as pattern tokens.
