Identify these bikes! / Re: FWW bike

« on: September 08, 2011, 09:31:05 AM »

Thanks for the answers - at least you seem to agree!

I have a number of other photos though not with bikes. They all show a hot and arid and featureless background but I honestly don't know where he was. It could be the Middle East or Serbia perhaps? In one or two there are pith helmets and he's in shirtsleeves so it is somewhere hot.

My grandfather was in the Royal Engineers and amongst other pictures I found this one. It is barely 2 inches across so I can't do much to enhance it. But you've helped before so I wonder if anyone could suggest what this might be and how the Engineers would use them.

Thank you both for your comments - especially to Leon who's helped twice. I have had it suggested that the second bike was possibly an AJS. Being no expert I'm keeping quiet......for the time being!

Same people but about 7-10 years later. Again I'd like to know something about the bikes - to give me some idea of whether he was well off or knowledgeable about bikes.

Thanks to both of you and especially to Leon for suggesting where I could look for more detail. Isn't the internet wonderful? I can get a pair of experts just like that! I hope someone can help with the other picture......

Hope this works - it's my first effort. Below is a picture of my mother and one of her brothers taken in their back yard in approx. 1927/8.

I have another which I'll post separately which is maybe 1937/8. Any information about the bikes - names of/ prices of/ English? etc. would be very welcome
