And what sort of labour division ?

The pictures seem to vary quite a bit in number, the 1941 version of the pamphlet Keith mentioned says that an instructor should only take 4 to 6 students at a push at any time which does seem to match the number of machines in the pictures so maybe the others were on theoretical parts of the course or just watched and waited their turn?

These are of course training squads so no reflection of active units. How many bikes were out in the training film 'Army Motorcycling' ?

Another one, with a WD/CO, M20, 16H, M20 and...??? Small headlamp, bulb horn, reminds me of the experimental lightweights. What is this...? A BSA WB30 perhaps?

Quite right I'm sure Jan. I'd say the front mudguard is definitely BSA. Ron
