The P&M motorcycle was chosen by the Royal Flying Corps as its standard machine during the First World War. By the end of the war the RAF had 3380 P&Ms on charge.
Immediately after the war the RAF disposed of many thousands of motorcycles nut by 1920 had just under 500 still in service.
P&M retained its monopoly in supplying motorcycles to the post war RAF until the late '20s. Its machines remained in service until the early 1930s.
Engine capacity: 498cc
Weight: 130kg (280lb)
Maximum speed: 80km/h (50mph)
Rage: 110km (70miles)
Taken from a plaque next to the motorcycle at the RAF Museum Hendon, London.
A brand name that disappeared into obscurity...

I've not seen one of these before, this is a great find. Shame that this company along with so many others had to vanish.
