Default my C60L has come home...finally

Over the last month or some I have had to move my Chev from Darwin to home in Vic.
It had been in the Aviation Museum in Darwin on public display sine 1999 or 2000, and the museum recently aquired a new larger obsolete aircraft from the RAAF. So they needed the room in their hanger around the B-52, so the other items of interest that were not aviation related had to go. My Chev was one of the items.
So through a friend I utilised the services of a truck driver that does a lot of NT work and backloads items quite often. I managed to get this arranged and in place in about 2 weeks as he was running trailers into a remote part of the NT and potentially coming home empty.
So the time and place was arranged, using the same good friend, we organised a tilt tray to collect the Chev and cross loaded it onto the step-deck trailer at the truck stop for its return trip.
The pics are in the museum and the loading/cross loading in Darwin.
