From an early MVCG/MVT magazine, via Rob van Meel. A list of bicycle frame numbers used by the RAF include a listing for Hercules Gents Model: RAF numbers 11430 - 17429.

First time I see a reference to Hercules frame numbers, mine has frame number CB 9526.

Default bicycles

A great-uncle of mine was a wartime RCAF aircraft mechanic. At one time I asked how he got around on the airfield. Did he have a Jeep? No, he chuckled. He had his tool box and he balanced it on the handlebars of one of the shop's many bicycles to go out to work on a plane.
