Hi Can anyone tell me if the red police light should flash or not !
on a 1942 Wla ??
regards Gaz

 

WLA was a war machine the lights were silted so as to not draw attention to its self

in the states use as military police it would come down to I believe they were a push button on then one again when pushed, as blinkers with a flasher was still far off even in cars one one person would know for sure

look up bruce Palmer 111 he wrote the book on them, 45s to include the military machines

 

Here is the military manual for the bike in pdf. Has all the info.Hope this helps.

thanks lads all help Appreciated

 

1942 Wla In Eagle squadron Raf

 

 

to me its a WLC and an early one

 

What do you see to think WLC?

Rockers and front wheel look to be 45 no BT and it has the steel oil lines not rubber. So you your eye saw something else, what do you got??

 

It Was in fact a WLC But when I brought it the chap sold the engine he said it was worn out and he had a Wla spare !
and brought the fuel lines new front mudguard ect
which I wish he hadn't as I would have preferred a WLC but never having either until mid last year I Just as happy with it being a WLA engine

 

Well good eyes on John.

Great looking bike either way.
