P&M Motorcycles on His Majesty's Service

By David Lewis

Following on from Dennis Quinlan's article on military motorcycles in the September Clatter, I thought that members might like to read about the military use of The Perfected Motorcycle. During WW1, P&M machines served at home in We all know that BSA, Triumph, Matchless, Royal the UK, in Europe, and in the Middle East, as far Enfield, Norton, Douglas, and other makes have afield as Egypt and at Gallipoli. During the war, a long and proud history of service with the the machines were often modified, mainly in an British and Australian armed services. But did effort to keep mud and dirt out of moving parts, you know that Yorkshire's finest (sorry Scott and generally had a fine reputation for reliability. fanciers), the P&M (Phelon and Moore, later Such was this reputation, in January 1917, the Panther), also had a significant military presence. Ministry of Supply issued orders that from then The first use of the motorcycle in warfare was on, all new P&Ms were no longer required to during the first Boer Wars in South Africa, in the undergo an obligatory test at Brooklands, prior 1890s, used for signalling and despatch. For the to despatch to the RFC. During the 1920s, the by first ten years of the 20th century, motorcycles now very dated 3 ½ hp 2-speed P&Ms were only played a somewhat sporadic and haphazard being replaced by later Panther models. The RAF role in the British Armed Services, with little or continued to use Panthers until the late 1930s. no reference to the specifications that such It is estimated that about 3,000 P&Ms were made motorcycles should possess. A large trial in 1912 during WW1. After the war, many were on Salisbury Plain concluded that the ideal reconditioned, by the RAF and by the P&M military machine should be of 3 ½ HP, and have a factory. These bikes were starting to be two speed transmission. The Army conducted auctioned off by the European spring of 1919, their own trials to determine the ideal military and many found their way into the hands of mount. Meanwhile, the Royal Flying Corps private owners, anxious for personal transport (formed in April 1912) and the Royal Flying Corps after the austere war years. With no prospect of (Naval Section) conducted their own tests. In late new machines for some time, the rate of theft 1912, a second batch of eight P&M machines was was particularly high during these times in the delivered to the Royal Aircraft Factory at UK.

I personally numerous manufacturers had been whittled know of about half a dozen in Australia. Some down to just two, P&M with their 3 1/2 HP solo, years ago, completely by chance, I saw one on a and Douglas with their Model O two speed rally in Tasmania. This 1916 model was 100% models.
