hi all, i have asked one or two things before, now i have one more thing to ask. was it only the WM20s that were used by the WD or did they have some KM20s as well?
a friend of mine as a KM20 from 1939 frame number KM 20915 as any one got any info on this bike ???
1939 season M20s with the 'KM20' prefix were a mixture of Standard and DeLuxe models with War Department (and Dutch Military) production within the batches.
Frame no. KM20 915 was a civilian delivery sent, according to the frame and engine books respectively, to BSA Copenhagen or Kielsen Denmark during January 1939.
Bearing in mind that less than 18 months later, Germany had captured thousands of Dutch Army and WD M20s and occupied Denmark, almost any parts could have been interchanged.
Quite possibly, it saw the the war out with the Kriegsmarine !
