Re: TRW Pannier Bags

I just noticed in this picture of later war 3HW's that they are dark bags with tan piping. Could they have started the green bags earlier than TRW at Meriden? If so, those green ones of mine could replace the tan bags on my late 3HW.:relaxed: Ron

Those are the correct bag carriers for a TRW and both the carriers and the bags themselves are dimensionally the same as wartime ones...

Later BSA B40s had the smaller carriers and smaller bags of a different pattern ...Ian

Thanks Ian

Re: TRW Pannier Bags

Ron, might they have changed from brown with SCC No.2 to green with Olive Drab ? It would seem logical as presumably all vehicle canvases changed at that time ?

Re: TRW Pannier Bags

The bags on the M20 in the current forum picture are the 'taller' style...They also have a strong colour differential between the bag material, the edging and the webbing fitments....Ian
