Try CASR part 45.
Also I dont know if GFA still has an exemption but this would seem
to make comp numbers or letters a non compliance and certainly those
gliders who use the last two letters of a registration such as LTY
and omit the L are not in compliance. Only those with Golf reggos
are allowed to do that. Also font's other than prescribed are
illegal, so are light grey etc etc, see CASR part 45.

This might be relevant. CASR Part 45 (volume 2 if you look for it via
the CASA website)
(c) in any other case as given in the following table.

CASA has re written this in the last 3 years. I did phone them when I
was refinishing the BD-4 3 years ago. The CASA bloke admiitted the
then existing regs on this were in his words " a horse's arse". Only
that reg, I wondered?
This doesn't seem like much of an improvement and appears to differ
from the GFA manual. Quel surpise!
Is there still some reason for GFA to exist?
Anybody figure out how many sets of markings you need on a glider
according to CASA?
