Les motos Royal Enfield guerre – Promenade Autour

Pendant la seconde Guerre Mondiale, La Enfield Le Cycle De Société was called upon by the British authorities to develop and manufacture military motorcycles. The models produced for the military were the WD/C 350 cc sidevalve, WD/CO 350 cc OHV, WD/D 250 cc SV, WD/G 350 cc OHV and WD/L 570 cc SV. One of the most well-known Enfields was the Royal Enfield WD/RE, known as the Flying Flea, a lightweight 125 cc motorcycle designed to be dropped by parachute with airborne troops.[2] In order to establish a facility not vulnerable to the wartime bombing of the Midlands, an underground factory was set up, starting in 1942, in a disused « Salle De Bain En Pierre » carrière à Westwood, près de Bradford-on-Avon, dans le Wiltshire. De nombreux membres du personnel ont été transférés à partir de Redditch et une succession de « préfabriqués » a été construit dans Westwood pour les héberger.
