The barrel certainly looks bigger? Ron

Hi Ron,

You are right. I can see the picture in the O&M book was wrongly captioned as I used that to count the barrel fins, just goes to show, you can not trust all you see. I knew one thing, it was certainly not a M20 in the original picture on here and I think that one came from one of the motor cycle magazines.

Yes Richard I picked up on that miss captioned picture also. But you beat me to the correction. It's that Jan you know. He should stick to Enfields. Only joking Jan.

Ron,

I'm sure you realise that all the motorcycle photos of RN bikes were posted by REWDCO (A.K.A. Jan in the Netherlands) and not me.

Hi Larry. Jan is always a helpfull sorce of information I know. But there were a couple of pictures that you posted on Dec 2nd. They were vehicle pictures that included a motorcycle each. I'd just like a better look if poss.

Regards Ron

Sorry Ron,

The photos I posted in 2005 were off the web and were not very high resolution so I cannot help make then clearer.

Just found some more info on Navy (Etc) Wireless vehiles. The site is mainly concerned with naval radar and is huge but on this page look half way down for "Naval Radar Vans [Mobile] Part one" and" part two".
Also near the bottom of the page look at "VHF Stations part4" - theres anunusual Jeep set up.
I think many of the vehicles/containers shown ar for use with MONAB units (as mentioned previously- see 20 Nov 2008 post). The files are all .pdf format - so difficult to extract photos but here's a couple:
