WM20 used by other countries?

hi folks,

I'm wondering if the Dutch army had WM20s for military use after WW2? I'm sure someone will know but I can't seem to track down any refernces...

Hi Cas
There was an article on Dutch Army BSA's in a "Classic bike Magazine" years ago which showed amongst other things some post war tele fork BSA's I will try to find it.

Hi

The article was about 1988 - as fate would have it I sent a copy of this article to Henk earlier this week. Rob if you like I can send a PDF of the three pages as they are currently sitting on my laptop 'desktop'.

I am restoring a Dutch WW2 bike so they tend to be a bit of a passion whatever period.

Hi Andy, I have found my copy, but if you could email it to Cas it would save me scanning it. Rob

Hi Cas,
I'm absolutely sure i have seen a picture of a dutch soldier/despatch rider on a WD M20 in Indonesia, around 1949, during the colonial war.

Hi Andy

Is there any chance you might be able to confirm the month of the article or better, provide a copy from your laptop

Many thanks

Hi All

Anyone who wants a scan of this article contact me off Forum and I will oblige.

In the meantime I will send to those who have already expressed an interest.

The article appeared in 'The Classic MotorCycle' magazine January 1988..
