WLC envy
As an erstwhile military bike buff (has a '56 TRW), I must envy you witha WLC, though a Norton 16H would be more to my taste these days, if I weren't enmeshed in the coils of the HUP.
We have had a couple or three WLCs hereabouts, and I hope knowledgable parties will chime in and steer you right - there are a number or significant differences between the WLA and WLC, for example.
For some reference reading, try to find a copy of The Winged Wheel Patch for pics and history of the WLC in Canadian service.
I once met an former Service Corps officer who told me about crossing the English Channel on D-Day in a landing craft with his HUP office van and his personal WLC. He told me he had to keep an eagle eye on the WLC because the Provost were always wanting to get if for themselves.
