ALBUM PHOTOS.

Just a few photos from old albums,these three are very small one is 2x2inch the other two 2+1/2x3+1/2inch,they are all wartime and from the Middle East,they were from ebay so not much info with them,have got a few more mainly just post war so may show them too.The first one is an M20 it has an air filter fitted and a womans name on the tank I think?.The second one is a G3 Matchless,the third one a G3L.  photo DSC_0562_zpseac4a59a.jpg  photo DSC_0563_zps3c8ca9b8.jpg  photo DSC_0544_zpse3c68fbd.jpg The detail is not too bad if you view them on a mobile phone.

Re: ALBUM PHOTOS.

I love that phrase "A 500cc BSA built from scrap"....If he could have envisaged what we regard as restoration projects these days...

Re: ALBUM PHOTOS.

Thanks for those extra pictures, makes a change to see an RAF bike. Many of my bikes I owned in my youth were built INTO scrap.......

Re: ALBUM PHOTOS.

I'm particularly interested in the RAF Indian 741's, especially the one with the loan guy in shorts. I know the picture quality is not great, but any chance of a copy of the best resolution of that picture please. Ron

Re: ALBUM PHOTOS.

Hi Ron,will try and take some better ones in daylight,they are quite small but on a mobile come up ok,failing that I could send them to you to copy there are two of them with a lone rider.  photo DSC_0568_zpsc3f5a022.jpg  photo DSC_0569_zps876be732.jpg  photo DSC_0567_zpse6f1ee7c.jpg

Re: ALBUM PHOTOS.

Cheers Steve. Not sure I could do any better with my scanner. I've saved those pictures for now, but if you do produce a slightly better image of the one with the first guy, please share it.

I also like that he's called it Mary. My own M20 is called Mary, from years ago, before I sorted it properly and it was always 'POPPIN' on the overrun. Ron
