Ron, the first image is not BEF. It's taken in the UK but difficult to know when.
I wonder if the lower photo actually has an overpaint of the blue BEF masking system ? Although it was supposed to be inside the glass, my KG3 rim showed a certain amount of blue on the outside.
Rik I agree that picture is in England, but is that not the Highland Division that went to France, one of which I believe is Jan's bike. The second picture is actually the bike that Lex now owns. Under advisement from Jan, I painted the rims black on both Ben and Lex's BEF WD/C's. Ron
Uh Oh! Now I've downloaded Jan's bike, I can see that I've got the markings mixed up.....But they are the same period!
