Ok well spotted, the army DUKW's being non RAAF vehicles. The scenery in that movie changes dramatically , me thinks it is Cairns in the later scenes with the Martin flying boat and the hilly background ... the Lake Boga terrain is as flat as the proverbial .


The strange narrator also mentions San Remo is where the DUKW was trialled , would this be Phillip Island in Vic. ?

I wonder if that Dodge CC at Boga is a RAAF vehicle , the RAAF seem to have had a few of those issued going by the AWM pics .

BTW the elderly lady here who works at the op shop told me she grew up in Rathmines in NSW during the war, she said they would often ferry the Cats through the town centre minus their wings .

In the second movie, did anyone spot the Blitz gun tractors ? Aitape is where in PNG ?
