Default M-H 'DINGO' off to Cairns.

After having my Ford Marmon-Herrington 'Dingo' on the market for a number of years I spoke to Rob Lowden from the Australian Armour & Artillery Museum in Cairns at Corowa and they have purchased it.

It is number 77212 or the 212th of 245 built in 1943. It is 98% complete, only missing the gun hatch which is about 9" X 4.5". If you have one I am sure Rob L. would be interested.

A 'B' double arrived and a crane organized to load it and off it went yesterday.

I expected a Framma crane but there was another crane in the area on Monday, so they used it, a 30tonner. A bit of an overkill,hey!

A bit of an overkill, 30 tonner to lift 4 tons.

Good luck with it Rob, I am looking forward to seeing it on display at the museum.

Regards Rick.
