Trouble is I can 'see' that sidecar combo in my mind's eye, as the last of the 'holdouts' rode around with a child-adult or rare double adult, with Panther 650 cc sloper power, or just perhaps a BSA 650 twin. I have only ever been in a sidecar once, and yet I hankered for an outfit. My late father-in-law joined the TA a short time after that winter, and Captain Northover, RA was given a Triumph TRW, as was his squad, to road around on over Salisbury Plain etc. spotting for the artillery. Imagine having sidevalve twins in the mid-Sixties!
