Jan,

My eye was drawn to the tappet cover on the BSA, not like an M20 part, too shallow. Also, motorcycles used by women in the Services, were generally smaller machines.

It is in fact, a BSA C10 250cc.An IWM photo in Chris Orchard's book, British Forces Motorcycles, shows another WREN, riding C10 with RN6914 on the tank, and civil reg. no. SHX129.

Indeed Richard, you're right! Never trust the captions in a magazine!
Thanks for the correction,
