1952 AJS Model 18

The attached photo is of Craig's father. It was taken in the early to mid fifties in Australia. He worked as a civilian mechanic on or near the military base in Woomera Australia. It was there at this time that the United Kingdom tested its first atomic bomb. As for the motorcycle, I believe it is a Model 18.  He recalls it as being a 1952 model year (he gets that from the last two numbers on the license plate) and he says it was a 500 c.c engine.

Thanks to Mukul for pointing out that the manufacture of rigid bikes ended in 1949.  Perhaps there was a delay in getting this one registered?
