Thanks Les, Have a good trip.
I visited the IWM archives in connection with my ongoing 1939 BEF 16H restoration and went right through the "O" and "F" series relating to the British Army in France and Flanders.
I was thoroughly impressed by the archive and ordered copies of the prints that I couldn't resist. Had to thin my list out several times though as I decided beforehand to stay under £100
. The copies are not bad value but they're not cheap either. I have posted those which have some four-wheeled interest.
Most of the interesting vehicle photos were taken by a chap called Keating who was riding a Royal Enfield WD/C in France. If you search under his name as photographer on the IWM site, you will certainly find other things of interest. He was later in the Middle East and Italy. Many of the photos are not fully captioned from a vehicle point of view so don't turn up on a simple search.
