In this print by Tim Woodcock, we are transported back in time to the year 1943, where an extraordinary piece of British engineering takes center stage. The image showcases a remarkable 1943 Excelsior Welbike engine, a motorcycle that played a significant role during World War II. The Welbike was designed as an ingenious solution for airborne troops who needed swift and reliable transportation on the battlefield. Its compact size and lightweight construction made it ideal for parachuting into enemy territory or being carried aboard aircrafts. This particular model proudly displays the name "Bayliss Thomas" on its frame, representing the skilled hands behind its creation. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, one cannot help but marvel at the meticulous craftsmanship evident in every detail of this wellbike. From its sturdy frame to its powerful engine, it exudes strength and resilience - qualities that were undoubtedly vital during wartime operations.
