I see this in the FAQ: "The Isle of Man may choose to adopt the system
later and a series of marks has been reserved."

Anyone know what series has been reserved?

The whole I* series is free, but that's a LOT of plates - far more than the
IoM would really need. It might make more sense for them to follow the Isle
of Wight theory - HW is reserved for IoW.

Geography would suggest one of the P-for-Preston-&-Carlisle series, but
they're all allocated.

Mebbe the U* series is reserved for Ulster, and it'd come under that?
