I was just talking to a friend who worked from 1963 in Chatham dockyard till its closure, he told me the bigger frigates and up all carried a shore bike, for dispatch and urgent pick up or collection of senior personnel, these were recorded on the ships manifest, this of course was post war so did this (shore bike)exist war time ?, andrew

I don't actually know if these photos are perhaps just post-war. The bike looks quite tidy and has original transfers...but it could have been in store and issued to the Navy in 1945. It's presumably somewhere in the tropics.
