A BSA folding paratrooper / airborne forces bicycle, green painted frame with brown leather saddle. These bikes were famously issued to the British Airborne Forces who parachuted into Normandy on D-Day and Arnhem in 1944. They were issued as a way for troops to quickly cover large areas of ground in a quiet manner behind enemy lines. Unfortunately many deemed them to be too cumbersome and were abandoned after landing. They were held out in-front of the paratroopers when they parachuted in. Serial number appears to be R47334
