Models with explicit $R$-parity violation can induce new rare radiative decay modes of the $W$ boson into single supersymmetric particles which also violate lepton number. We examine the rate and signature for one such decay, $W\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{l}\ensuremath{\gamma}$, and find that such a mode will be very difficult to observe, …
