Garry,

What an amazing coincidence ! Have you contacted Rob about where he got it from ? I know that lots of people (myself included) send him everything we find on WD Nortons.

It would seem from his caption that he thought it was Iceland.

Scotland would seem a possibility as those rounded glacially eroded mountains would fit the bill. It's certainly not NW Europe !

The machine has the early 8" headlamp which was fitted up until the end of 1940 and had originally the MT110 rear lamp which was later replaced by a convoy lamp. The satin chrome fittings have not been overpainted but it doesn't look new. Bearing in mind that the snow has not completely thawed, I would guess perhaps spring or early summer 1942. Would that fit ?

What insignia would your father have been wearing at that time ?

Rich.
