It looks as if the Germans have fitted non standard forks and wheel to this captured M20,possibly Triumph?,kick starter looks odd too,or is it not even BSA but a Triumph?

It's quite a well known picture. The plane is a Fieseller Storch and the Bike is actually a Triumph 3SW. Ron

It's an extraordinary picture.
Never heard of these airplanes, I suppose they are German ?

Here it is Mike. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fieseler_Fi_156 The bike of course is captured, no doubt left behind by the retreating BEF.

The bloke in white at the back was the cook, they were trying to repair the aircraft so they could throw him out from a great height, [
