A wartime photo of the folding bicycle. It includes the designation “Bicycles Folding with Retractable Pedals”. With V.A.O.S. Number “BF 2012”.
This designation may only have been temporary as the file also includes the attached helmet photo with a designation which I believe was subsequently modified. These photos were sent to Canada in April 1944. https://heritage.canadiana.ca/view/o...284/49?r=0&s=3

From an early MVCG/MVT magazine, via Rob van Meel. A list of bicycle frame numbers used by the RAF include a listing for Hercules Gents Model: RAF numbers 11430 - 17429.
IMG_0756.jpg First time I see a reference to Hercules frame numbers, mine has frame number CB 9526. IMG_0774.jpeg

A great-uncle of mine was a wartime RCAF aircraft mechanic. At one time I asked how he got around on the airfield. Did he have a Jeep? No, he chuckled. He had his tool box and he balanced it on the handlebars of one of the shop's many bicycles to go out to work on a plane.
