The Stuart going home.


On the next video, ignore the Spitfire zooming overhead.
I'm amazed how quiet the Stuart was.

RAF motorcyles
I have beeen told that the RAF bike actually had an serial number for a bike that went to the army.
Quote:
The RAF blue Norton is a bit of a contradiction as RAF vehicles mostly weren't blue during the war years and this one has a wartime WD (Not RAF) census number. If the number C4389970 is correct for the frame number, it was indeed part of an Army contract.
