Thanks to Will Millar of BC, Canada for this picture of his father circa 1942. And also thanks to Rich Payne for confirmning that the bike is a Norton 16H.
Rich also points out “Interestingly, it seems to be fitted with a 4.00 x 18 front tyre. There have long been rumours of the RAF having received 16H outfits fitted with 18″ wheels rather than the standard 19″. The wider tyres would have made sense of course. The RAF certainly had WM20 outfits with 18″ wheels (parts books exist) but none have turned up for 16Hs”
Hi,
i am restoring a norton 16h h here in india , i have been waiting years to find original spares , they seem to be very expensive , could you let me know where i could find parts to restore , and i have always wanted to paint my bike like the one above , but people tell me that the air force never received norton 16h , and was it raf blue or green , this is my big question
Cheers
