After WWII BSA apparently built some miniature folding bicycles similar to
the WWII "airborne bicycle" for the kids market. Apparently they would be in
civilian colours. If the bike in the auction is painted OD, then be
suspicious that someone is militarizing a civilian vehicle.

Either way, I too would like to KNOW more about it and no I can't afford to
buy it.

I am researching the BSA folding "airborne bicycles" .
