Default Military Vehicles in Kent During World War Two

See https://erenow.net/ww/kent-at-war-1939-to-1945/5.php for some pictures and text on Military Vehicles in Kent During World War Two.

These are from the book Kent at War 1939 to 1945 by Mark Khan.

The bottom photo is the village of Goudhurst, many is the time I have travelled through that street with my Bedford QL. There are several motorcyclists in the photo, with Norton and Harley. I bought a large copy of this photo about 30 years ago and the detail in it is great.

The front tyre on the Norton 16H in the other photo is positively dangerous, that rider was heading for a fall !!

Great to see an F60H in the wild!
