So far I have found three original pictures of Talboys fitted. All on WM20's and as far as I know, all in Burma. That first picture I posted is also in colour?? Which is captioned "Tom Richmond (No hat) Rangoon" Ron

Rob that very first picture I posted is factory fitted Vokes filters. I've come to the conclusion that Talboys filters were shipped out east and fitted as required on site. Hence the large haul of un-used filters found in recent years in Pakistan.

It gave me the excuse to fit one with artistic licence :relaxed: Ron

I am fairly certain Talflows were rarely factory fitted. They were shipped to India to retrofit bikes.
The 80 India Office Norton 16H machines made and delivered in 1946 did however have the Talboys aircleaners fitted by Norton.

The ones found last years were were likely removed when the bikes were sold-off/discarded and forgotten for many years.

Cheers,

So too the M20's and C11's supplied to the India Office. I had thought that the batch that was found (all in red oxide primer) Were surplus and never fitted? Maybe someone else can confirm. Ron
