Re: got any ww11 pics??

I have lots of photo including what you would like to see here, I think. BUT being Dutch I might make a painful mistake and put the wrong photos here as I do not always recognize one UK member from the other.

These guys must be Scottish, right?

I'd be surprised if the Canadians had M20s that early - the bikes look to be 1940 models and still relatively new. BSA is recorded at having complained to the Canadian Government about their lack of purchases.

Is the white cross not likely to be that of 52nd (Lowland) Division ?

It is not only 'Scottish' Divisions that were stationed in Scotland. 5th Division for example were sent there after Dunkirk and whilst they included 2nd Cameronians, 2nd Royal Scots and 6th Seaforth Higlanders, they were not known as a Scottish division.

Most TA units were also sent to Scotland for training...Ian

Here an other one Barry, hopefully I have it right with this photo. These guys look strange enough to be Scottish.

Interesting little home-made AoS serial brackets.

Re: got any ww11 pics??

The plates could be AoS in much the same way as they were painted on the front mudguard

Re: got any ww11 pics??

It would be easier to identify them if Scots wore the kilt on motorcycles but it's perhaps understandable why they dont....

Re: got any ww11 pics??

I see a few Dutch in kilts on motorcycles a few times a year, silly ScDuotch.

Many seems to enjoy the Trossachs during the summer.

The flasher sitting next to Queenie must be hiding, as nothing has been heard of him since?
Kilts were sored for the duration, but for ceremonial purposes and some walking out.

The two glider pilots at Arnhem with kilts were in direct breach of dress regulations.
