caption text for the above image reads :
"With the reduction is the currency allowance for overseas travel, the emphasis will be on holidays at home. In anticipation of a record motoring season, the AA is increasing it's road patrol service. This picture shows the AA man, having just collected their new machines from the BSA factory leaving for their 'beats' in all parts of the country in time for Whitsun."

Estimating that there are at least 50 outfits shown here, BSA M21 600cc {actually 591cc sidevalve engine} will be the motive power ...

This caught my eye for several reasons, partly as I know a gentleman that was an AA patrolman in the days when they used sidecar outfits and also because there is an outfit in "The Hub" the museum in Alston.

Note : AA stands for Automobile Association - at the time of this image it was a mutual club, that one joined by paying an annual subscription for membership. {and not the profit-driven commercial company that it became when centrica bought it}
