Hi Henk


Here is the first of the photographs I have found.

It shows Tom Richmond, front left as you see it, on service in Burma.

I have been told it was late 1944/v. early 1945 in Burma.

Hi Darren,

Fantastic photo, thanks very much.

Here the frame numbers of these two BSA's, this gives a good idea on how these bikes looked like and these photos will be very helpful during restorations of BSA's with frame numbers close to these two motorcycles.

C5549983 = WM20 109283
C5549615 = WM20 108915

Re: WANTED: photos

Darren, thank's for posting that initial photo. I'm not too good on the late-war accessories, but are they Talflow filters rather than Vokes ?

Some nice images in that second batch. No.6 looks like a Triumph though !

Re: WANTED: photos

They are indeed Talflow filters so that makes it rather strange, I was under the impression they only used these very early during the war.

Yes, the Czechs with the B4's there is a whole series of those, pictures taken in Cheshire, in the gardens of Cholmondeley Castle. a friend who lives near, says the gates and fences are still the same!!

The ATS? girl is on a 250sv. Enfield.

Nice stuff!

Cheers,

Lex
