    Hi just  pick this engine up  fairly sure it’s a WD  Engine  but it has no frame number or not in the usual place ?

    Looks like it’s V1236 at the back of the  Engine and I think it’s 4107  over the top  where the magneto Cover gos  it’s had a few modifications and I will have to change  them but if you can shed any light on the markings it would be much appreciated  

    Thanks Ant

      Hi Ant,

      Thanks for sharing! Well, this looks like a military spare engine to me (true engine number V1238, but no duplicated frame number on the usual place). Judging by the true engine number, this must have been a spare engine that was delivered with contract S/1945. And when I compare this true engine number with other entries in my Register, I can tell you that this spare engine was built approximately at the same time as frame number #6000, which means somewhere around January - February 1944.

      I have no idea about the number that was stamped close to the magneto...

      Cheers,

      Jan

    Hi,

    I can make you a perfect copy of this pillion seat. See attached pictures of the BSA version, but I can do the Ariel version as well. If interested, please send me an email, easier to communicate than this message board.

    Regards,

    Jan
