I'm not convinced that no WW2 motorcycle was blue.

I saw a speedo recently in original blue (RAF I think) with a plate on the reverse marked "1942" which seemed to point to some motorcycles being that colour, Nathan (remember him) had a NOS MT1130 that was blue? and I have a fag end tail lamp lens in blue which couldn't have existed before or after the war, even if this war for a truck or car it proves a point.

I believe that Ariel probably did supply some machines for the RAF and Admiralty in non standard Army colours.

Regrettably, we know almost nothing about Admiralty contracts. Even less than Air Ministry and that's about 10% of Sweet FA !


Can it really be the case that there is absolutely no surviving RN information ? I wouldn't know where to start looking.


Lex found Blue-Grey MT1130s at Beaulieu. 1939 though was not in the 'Service Colour' period for the 'Junior Service'.
