I would say a pukka mid-1940 3SW. Jan has collected some data on the RASC habit of stamping census number on crankcases. I have a feeling that it stopped around May / June - more or less the same time as the fall of France
Thanks Rik. I've now found a barrel (ebay again, well cheap, slight repairable fin damage)), so I'm going to get on with the engine rebuild. it's nearly all there, but as I don't have a frame (yet), I can look out for any missing parts as time goes on. Got a feeling a frame is going to be hard to come by, as will correct forks etc. At any one time, I have 2 or 3 projects on the go, like my own M20 (nothing special, but bits are coming my way slowly).
