With Amal carbs, such as those shown in the film, air filters were a later and fairly rare "specialty" development just for particularly dusty or sandy environments, and were only first available as the special Amal Type 276 in 1940. In fact, lots of folks still run Amals on their classic British bikes, even of much later decades, with no air filter--often maybe just something called a "velocity stack," which looks like a little horn that screws onto the air intake end of the carb. Some stacks may have a metal screen to keep out leaves, bugs and whatnot, but many don't. It is VERY common to see folks happily running British Iron with no air filter.

One would think that air filters would be mandatory, even back then.
What would two think?

Well they certainly were mandatory on VW Kubbelvagons :)
What an unreliable machine,, probably these machines were the reason why Japanese started making one 😂
British motorcycles have automatic disassembly built in!
