That registration is not listed in the register and I don't recognise the 'gentlemen'.

Re: Who are they ? Dutch rally 2008
The bike's got AJS/Matchless front forks (and probably head yokes from the same source).
It's on the DVLA database as a W/NG (I think the field stand can be seen).
I wonder if that's a 'period conversion', as the forks could have come from a WD Matchless 350.
Interesting photo, but probably doesn't help with 'who are they'!

The chap on the left with glasses looks like the late Pete Rabjohn, but there is not enough of his face showing to be certain.
Edit: looking more closely, and with the above information, I think I am incorrect!

Is the one furthest left the late Harry Vermullen? Is he talking to Ray Steer in the green top and hat? I don't know the men round the bike other than Herman Noort.
