I remember a photo in I think classic motorcycle of a 16h captioned that it was in italy. The headlamp glass and reflector were missing and it was in generally rough shape. A soldier was seated on it and a scruffy small lad of about ten was looking at the bike. I cannot find the photo in the archives of the classic motorcycle, does anybody out there have it?? Thanks

The reason I ask is that the C number was close to mine, from the same contract.

Hi Keith,

I have been looking through my 16H photos, I have quite a few, but can't find a photo that could be the one. What is your tank number? Can have a look if I have an other photo close.

Hi Henk
Thanks for looking for me. The C num is 4858652. Anything near that would be wonderful. Thanks in advance.

Hi Keith,

Could you send me your email address? I have a few the are kind of close.

Is it W76652, Keith ?

It's certainly not a photograph description that I recognise. I only have one image from contract S150 - it is from the Australian archives and shows WD16H C4859112 in the Far East.

Also looked for this picture, but nothing? are you sure it was a 16H?

It does ring a bell.......

Let me know when you find it please,

Thanks Henk, I've sent you an email

And Lex it was 16h I'm pretty sure.

Oh and Rik if you could post that picture from the far east it would be great!

It's an AWM photo.

Many thanks, Rik thats fantastic!

GOD! IS THAT THE REGULATOR BOX MOUNTED ABOVE THE TOOLBOX ?

I think they always are on WD Nortons.

Indeed they are! And not the bolt on type, but the type that clamps to the frame tube as also fitted to Triumphs. Ron

Ahhh, so my clamp on reg on the trumpet is correct - thought it was an Indian afterthought...

Keep the learning coming

On the opposite side on the Triumph though...Ian

It makes more sense on the opposite side...on the Norton it is necessary to remove the toolbox in order to access the clamp retaining screws...
